Question

Determine the point and slope that were used to write each linear equation in point slope form

Answer 1

The slope-point form is:

`y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`

where (x0,y0) is a point in the line and m is the slope.

A) If the equation is written in slope-point form, we have:

`y-0=2(x-5)`

Then, the point is (5,0) and the slope is m=2.

Answer: Point = (5,0)

Slope = 2

B)

`\begin{gathered} y+3=5x \\ y-(-3)=5(x-0) \end{gathered}`

Answer: Point (0,-3)

Slope = 5
