The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = (x – 8). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?

Ay = 1/4x – 12
By = 1/4x – 4
Cy = 1/4x + 2
Dy = 1/4 x + 6

Verified Answer :

\(y-4=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-8)\)

The slope-intercept form: \(y=mx+b\)

m - a slope
b - y-intercept (0; b)

The point-slope form: \(y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\)

therefore \(m=\dfrac{1}{4}\)

We have a point (0; 2) ⇒ it's the y-intercept, therefore \(b=2\)


Answer: \(C)\ y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2\)

Other method:

\(y-4=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-8)\ \ \ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property:\ a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\y-4=\dfrac{1}{4}x-2\ \ \ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+2\)
