write an equation of the line with slope = 7/8 and containing the point (6,3)
:
Use the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
m = 7/8; x1 = 6, y1 = 3
:
y - 3 = (x - 6)
:
y - 3 = x - 6*
:
y - 3 = x -
:
y - 3 = x -
Add 3 to each side
y = x - + 3
:
y = x - +
:
y = x - ; is the equation
:
:
Check this, replace x with 6, find y
y = 6 -
y = x -
y = -
y = = 3, confirms our equation
