Question

Graph the equation using the point and the slope y – 5 =1/5(x - 1)

Answer 1

The given equation is:

`y\text{ - 5 = }(1)/(5)(x\text{ - 1)}`

The general equation of a line is given as:

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

Where, m represents the slope

Comparing the two equations above.

`m\text{ = }(1)/(5),x_1=1,y_1=\text{ 5}`

The point is therefore:

`(x_1,y_1)\text{ = ( 1, 5)}`
