Question
The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = 1/4(x – 8). What
iS the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?
O y = 1/4x- 12
O y= 1/4x-4
O y= 1/4x+2
O y= 1/4x+6

Answer:
3rd option
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point slope form is
y – b = m(x – a)
where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line
Given
y – 4 =
(x – 8)
with m =
and (a, b) = (8, 4 )
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept ) , then
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (8, 4) into the partial equation
4 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 4 – 2 = 2
y =
x + 2 ← equation in slope- intercept form
