Question

Find an equation in point-slope form for the line having the slope m = 2 and containing the point (7,5).

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{ 2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{7}) \end{array}}`
