Question

Which equation represents a line that passes through 5,1 and has a slope of 1/2

Answer 1

(5,1)

x=5

y=1

m=1/2

Use this formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

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

y-1=x/2-5/2

Isolate for y

y=x/2-3/2

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:x-2y=3

Explanation:

Given

Lines passes through (5,1) and slope of 0.5

i.e.
`tan\theta =0.5`

where
`\theta`is the angle made by line with horizontal

equation of line can be given by

`(y-1)/(x-5)=tan\theta`

2y-2=x-5

x-2y=3 is the required line
