Question 1111340: Please help, I have no idea how to do this.
Write the​ point-slope form of the line satisfying the given conditions. Then use the​ point-slope form of the equation to write the​ slope-intercept form of the equation.
Slope= 8, passing through (-6,1)
-------------------------
All i have so far is:
y-1
___ = 8
x+6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the point slope form of a linear equation is
:
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
:
we are given the point (-6,1) on our line and its slope is 8
:
y-1 = 8(x+6)
:
y-1 = 8x +48
:
y = 8x +49
:
slope-intercept form is
:
***********************
y = 8x +49
