You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok the equation to use when you have a point and the slope is the point slope form. so we begin with that and they want the end result in slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "slop intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "point slope form is y-k=m(x-h) where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point on the line
\n" ); document.write( "1.) y-3=8(x-0)---->y-3=8x----> $\"highlight%28y=8x%2B3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2.) if the slope really is 2.8 I will plug that in if its 28 just plug that in everywhere you see 2.8. by the way ordered pairs dont have a point to seperate the numbers it is a comma like our point in this problem would b(0,-3) not
\n" ); document.write( "(0.-3).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-3)=2.8(x-0)--->y+3=2.8x----> $\"highlight%28y=2.8x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
