Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line passing through (0,5) and (-2,11)

Answer 1

The equation of the line passing through
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is

`(x-x_1)/(y-y_1) =(x_2-x_1)/(y_2-y_1)`. Here

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` is the slope of the line.

Substituting numerical values, the equation of the line is

`image`

The equation of the line is
`3x+y=5`
