Question

Write an equation of the line in point slope form (y - y) = m(x - X1) given that the slope is 6 and the line passes through (5, 7). Then convert it to slope-

intercept form.
Point-Slope Form:
Slope-Intercept Form:

Answer 1

x1 = -4

y1 = 2

x2 = 0

y2 = 3

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the numbers and evaluate m, then either of the 2 equations below represents the line in point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y2 = m(x - x2)

Plug in the numbers. The slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

b = 3 (given)

m = result from earlier step

You convert to standard from and finish from here.
