This is just reading the formula.

Remember what the point-slope form equation comes from.
Variable point (x,y)
Given point (h,k)
Slope is m=%28y-k%29%2F%28x-h%29
The point-slope form is just a rearrangement of this.

Given the​ point-slope equation y plus 8 equals negative 6 left parenthesis x minus 7 right parenthesis commay+8=−6(x−7), state the slope and the indicated point of the graph
            y + 8 = - 6(x - 7)

Compare to: y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

It's obvious that: -+y%5B1%5D+=+%2B+8, and so: y%5B1%5D+=+-+8

Also, m = - 6

And, -+x%5B1%5D+=+-+7, and so, x%5B1%5D+=+7

That's it....nothing COMPLEX!!
