Question

The slope of the line below is 1.5. Write the equation of the line in point-slope

form, using the coordinates of the labeled point. Do not use parenthesis on
the y side.
(4,3)

Answer 1

`y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)`

Explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = 1.5

Coordinates of labelled point = (a, b) = (4, 3)

Point-slope equation takes the form of
`y - b = m(x - a)`.

Therefore, to write the equation, substitute a = 4, b = 3 and m = 1.5 into
`y - b = m(x - a)`.

Thus:

`y - 3 = 1.5(x - 4)`
