Well Heres the format, Y=mx+b so just insert the data u have up there

2. anonymous

but which is the point

3. jjwalton04

Whats the choices?

4. anonymous

y+3=6x-48 y+3=6(x+8) y-3=6(x-8) y-3=6(x+8)

5. jjwalton04

Well im thinking its b but, but not 100%

6. jjwalton04

Hold on gonna tag some people to help out

Hey, heyheyhey :) It looks like your choices are given in point-slope form. This is really convenient since they gave us a point, and a slope value to work with! Here is the information they gave us:$\large\rm (\color{orangered}{x_1},\color{royalblue}{y_1})=(\color{orangered}{-3},\color{royalblue}{8}), \qquad\qquad \color{green}{m=6}$And here is the formula for point-slope form of a line:$\large\rm y-\color{royalblue}{y_1}=\color{green}{m}(x-\color{orangered}{x_1})$

Just plug in the stuff. Match up the colors! :)
