You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi HOckey41,
what is the point slope form of (0,2)(-4,2). also i need that point slope form to be turned into slope intercept form, and standard form.
In order to put these points in point slope form, we need to find the slope between the points.
To find the slope between two points, use the slope formula:  , m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(0,2) and (x2,y2)=(-4,2)
m=0
This is a special case, if the slope is 0, you have a horizontal line: Notice that the y's are the same in both points. If you draw a line through the two points, you will see that the line is horizontal. The equation for a horizontal line is y=k, where k is a constant. This equation is y=2. If we try to write it in point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1), where m=slope, and (x1,y1) is a given point:
y-2=0(x-0)
If we try to write it in slope intercept form y=mx+b, where m=slope, and (0,b)=y-intercept:
y=0x+2
If we want it in standard form Ax+By=C.
y=0x+2
y=0+2
y=2 Is the best we can do.
Happy Calculating!!!
