Write the equation of a line in point Slope form that passes through the points (-8,-3) and (2,2)

The midpoint of the points (2,8) and (0,4) is given by:

We must must transform the standard form equation −3x+6y=5 into a slope-intercept form equation (y=mx+b) to find its slope.

−3x+6y=5 (Subtract 3x on both sides.)

6y=3x+5 (Divide both sides by 6.)

The slope of our first line is equal to

2

1

. Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so if the slope of one is x, the slope of the other is

x

1

.

The negative reciprocal of

2

1

is equal to −2, therefore, −2 is the slope of our line.

Since the equation of line passing through the midpoint (1,6), therefore, substitute the given point in the equation y=−2x+b:

6=(−2×1)+b

6=−2+b

b=6+2=8

Substitute this value for b in the equation y=−2x+b:

y=−2x+8

Hence, the equation of the line is y=−2x+8.

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

16 is the absolute value
