Question

A line with a slope of 1/6 passes through the point (8,–10). What is its equation in point-slope form?
Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.
y–[?]=[?] (x– [?])

Answer 1

y - (-10) = (1/6)(x - 8)

(Equivalently: y + 10 = (1/6)(x - 8).)
