Question

How do you find a point slope in geometry

Answer 1

see explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point slope form of an equation, we will apply the formula:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

Given two points, we will be able to find the slope = m

for example: (1, 2), (2, 4)

m = slope = change in y/ change in x

m = (4-2)/(2-1)

m = 2/1

m = 2

Then, we will pick any of the points and insert into the formula for the point slope.

Let's assume we are using point (1, 2) = (x1, y1)

inserting into the formula together with the slope gives:

y - 2 = 2(x - 1)

The above is a point slope for the points given.
