Question

Suppose line n has a slope of 5/7 and passes through (4,8). what is the equation for n in point-slope form?

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{y-8=(5)/(7)(x-4)}`

Explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

m - slope

We have the slope
`m=(5)/(7)` and the point
`(4,\ 8)`.

Substitute:

`y-8=(5)/(7)(x-4)`
