The point-slope equation of a line is given by the formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) are the coordinates of a point on the line.
Given that the slope is 8 and the point is (9, 1), the equation becomes:
y - 1 = 8(x - 9)
Simplifying further:
y - 1 = 8x - 72
Finally, rearranging the equation to the slope-intercept form:
y = 8x - 71
Therefore, the point-slope equation of the line is y = 8x - 71.
Find a point-slope equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point.
