What is the equation of the line in point-slope form?
y + 4 = 1/2 (x + 4)
y – 4 = 1/2 (x + 4)
y – 0 = 2(x - 4)
y – 4 = 2(x – 0)

What is the equation of the line in pointslope form y 4 12 x 4 y 4 12 x 4 y 0 2x 4 y 4 2x 0 class=

Respuesta :

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) [tex]y+4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+4).[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form.

POINT-SLOPE FORM: The point-slope form of a line with slope 'm' and passing through a point (a, b) is given by

[tex]y-b=m(x-a).[/tex]

From the graph, we note that the points (4, 0) and (-4, -4) are two points on the straight line.

So, the slope of the line is

[tex]m=\dfrac{-4-0}{-4-4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{1}{2}.[/tex]

Also, the line passes through the point (-4, -4), so the equation of the line is

[tex]y-(-4)=m(x-(-4))\\\\\Rightarrow y+4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+4).[/tex]

Thus, the required point-slope form of the graphed line is

[tex]y+4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+4).[/tex]
