Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through (3, 5) with a slope of 1.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through (–2, 1) with a slope of 1/4 .

Answer 1

y -5 = x-3;

y -1 = 1/4 (x+2)

Explanation:

Point Slope form:
`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1)` , where m is the slope, and x1,y1 is the point.

1. y -5 = 1 (x-3)

y -5 = x-3

2. y -1 = 1/4 (x--2)

y -1 = 1/4 (x+2)
