Question

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that passes through (5, -1) and has a slope of 2/3

Answer 1

y-(-1)=2/3(x-5)

Explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope, x_1 is the x coordinate of a point that the line passes through, and y_1 is the y coordinate of a point the line passes through.

Substituting, we get

y-(-1)=2/3(x-5)
