Question

Write the equation of a line with the slope of 5 which contains the point (2,8) Show all work to receive credit for this problem.

Answer 1

y-8 = 5(x-2)

Explanation:

We can use the point slope form of the equation for a line to solve this problem

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope

y-8 = 5(x-2)

Answer 2

y -8 = 5(x -2)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

... y -k = m(x -h)

Filling in the given values, you have ...

... y -8 = 5(x -2)
