the point-slope line equation . where m is
the slope.
\First find the slope of the line.
\ (Substitute
2 for x1, 8 for y1, 4 for x2 and 2 for y2)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
(Add:
)
(Subtract:
) \ \
(Cancel common terms)
Next find the point-slope line equation .
(Substitute
2 for x1, 8 for y1and
)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
(Distributive property:
)

The equation is .
First find the y-intercept.
\The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.
\ (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)
(Additive identity proeprty:
)
The y-intercept is .
Next find the x-intercept.
\The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.
\ (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)
(Apply Additive identity property:
)
The x-intercept is .
The x-intercept is .
The y-intercept is .
