The point slope form of a line is the equation
y-y_1=m*(x-x_1)
where y_1 and x_1 are coordinate for some point the line intersect and m is the slope. Just plugging in your given numbers gives the equation
y+4=-2*(x+8)
It is: y = 5x+6
Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) y+6=-1/8(x+4)
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.
The equation of a line passing through a point P with coordinates (a,b) and slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a) changing that to the more conventional form: y = mx + (b - ma)
Point-slope form is written as: y-y1=m(x-x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope (hence the name, point-slope form).
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
no it is different
It is: y = -31 and there is no x intercept or slope
point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1). x1 and y1 are both points and m is the slope.
The slope of a vertical line is undefined and so there cannot be a slope-intercept form of the equation.
Not all linear equations can be directly expressed in point-slope form because this form requires a specific point on the line and the slope. However, some linear equations, like vertical lines, do not have a defined slope (infinite slope), making it impossible to represent them in point-slope form. Therefore, while most non-vertical linear equations can be converted to point-slope form, vertical lines present an exception.
The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), where (m) is the slope and ((x_1, y_1)) is a point on the line. Given the slope (m = -5) and the point ((1, -1)), the equation in point-slope form is (y + 1 = -5(x - 1)).
