Question

Give the slope of y – 4 = 5(x – 2) and a point on the line.

Answer 1

The slope is, 5 and (2, 4) is the point on the line.

Explanation:

Using the point intercept form:

`y-y_1 =m(x-x_1)` ......[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line and

`(x_1, y_1)` is the point on the line.

As per the statement:

The equation of line is given by:

`y-4 =5(x-2)`

Comparing the given equation with [1] we have;

⇒m = 5 and
`(x_1, y_1) = (2, 4)`

Therefore, the slope is, 5 and (2, 4) is the point on the line.
