The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = y minus 4 equals StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 9 right-parenthesis.(x – 8). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?

y = 1/4x– 12
y = 1/4x– 4
y = 1/4x+ 2
y = 1/4x+ 6

Respuesta :

y = 1/4x+ 6 step by step.

Answer:

C. [tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is [tex]y-4=\frac{1}{4}(x-8)[/tex]. We are asked to find the slope-intercept form of the equation.  

To convert our given equation in slope-intercept form, we will separate y on left side of equation.

[tex]y-4=\frac{1}{4}\cdot x-\frac{1}{4}\cdot 8[/tex]

[tex]y-4=\frac{1}{4}x-2[/tex]

Add 4 on both sides:

[tex]y-4+4=\frac{1}{4}x-2+4[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of line in slope-intercept form would be [tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]and option C is the correct choice.
