Question

Write an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope

(6,1); m = 2

Answer 1

Answer: y - 1 = 2(x - 6)

Explanation:

Our task is to find the equation of the line that :

• has a slope of 2
• passes through (6,1)

Applying the point-slope formula,

• 
  `\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}`

Substitute the data,

• 
  `\sf{y-1=2(x-6)}`

this is our answer, we're done :)
