Which equation shows how (–10, 8) can be used to write the equation of this line in point-slope form?

y – 8 = –0.15(x – 10)
y + 8 = –0.15(x – 10)
y – 8 = –0.2(x + 10)
y + 8 = –0.2(x – 10)

we know that

the equation of the line into point-slope form

is equal to

in this problem we have the point

substitute in the formula

therefore

the answer is

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2
