Q:

Give the slope of y - 3 = 4 ( x + 8 ) and a point on the line.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Slope of the line is 4 and the point on the line is (-8,3)Step-by-step explanation:The equation of the line is given by [tex]y-3=4(x+8)[/tex]The point slope form of a line is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Here, m is the slope of the lineAnd the point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] lies on the line.On comparing the given equation with the point slope form of the line[tex]m=4,x_1=-8,y_1=3[/tex]Therefore, the slope is 4 and the point on the line is (-8,3)
