and passes through the point (9,4). What is its equation in point-slope form?

Answer 1

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is given by the formula:

$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line.

Given that the slope $m=\frac{1}{8}$ and the point $(x_1,y_1)=(9,4)$, we can substitute these values into the point-slope formula:

$$y-4=\frac{1}{8}(x-9)$$

This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
