Question

Point(3,2) lies on the line given by the equation 5x-y=20.Find m.

Answer 1

Slope of the line 'm' = 5

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the straight line

5 x - y = 20

⇒ 5x - 20 = y

y = 5 x - 20

Step(ii):-

The equation of the straight line having to slope 'm'

y = m x + c

given that the straight line

y = 5x +20

comparing y = m x + c

Slope of the line 'm' = 5
