Given:
Point: ( - 8, 6)
x1 = -8
y1 = 6
Slope: m = 3/2
Write the equation point-slope form.
Equation for Point-slope form.
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, y1, and m to the equation.
y - 6 = 3/2( x -(-8)
y - 6 = 3/2( x + 8)
y - 6 = 3/2x + 12
Final answer
y - 6 = 3/2x + 12
