<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form
will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>
<span>
</span>
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points
On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept
In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.
Answer: It's b

Answer:
(-6,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first endpoint of the line is (-6,8), we can call
x_1 = -6
and
y_1 = 8
Let the last endpoint have coordinates (x_2,y_2)
Also, the midpoint formula is:
(x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2
Now, plugging these values is the formula, we get:
(-6+x_2)/2 = -6
-6+x_2=-12
x_2=-12+6 = -6
x_2 = -6
Also
(8+y_2)/2=2
8+y_2=4
y_2=4-8=-4
y_2 = -4
The coordinates of the other endpoint is (-6,-4)
8x+4 would be the answer if you combine like terms
It is different because you are doing a different method to complete the problem. It is the same because it ends up with the same answer, provided you complete the process correctly.
