Answer:
The equation is [tex]y-(-8) = 4(x-2)[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of a line is represented by the formula [tex]y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)[/tex]. In order to write an equation of a line in point-slope form, we would need to substitute real values for the [tex]m[/tex], [tex]x_1[/tex], and [tex]y_1[/tex] in the formula.
Since [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope of the line, substitute 4 in its place. Since [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (2,-8) in the formula as well. Substitute 2 for [tex]x_1[/tex] and -8 for [tex]y_1[/tex]. This results in the following equation and answer:
[tex]y-(-8) = 4(x-2)[/tex]
(Usually, we would simplify the double negatives on the left side to a positive, but because you have to type the values in to answer the problem and cannot change the written negative sign already visible in the equation, that would be the answer. I believe you can just type in -8 for the first box.)
