Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line described.

1. through: (-2, 5), slope =6
2. passing through the following points:
x y
7 19
8 22
9 25
10 28

Answer 1

6x - y + 17=0

Explanation:

Given :-

• The slope of the line is 6 and it passes through (-2,5) .

And we need to find out the equation of the line. Using the point slope form. The point slope form of the line is ,

`:\implies` m ( x - x1) = ( y - y1)

`:\implies` 6( x -(-2)) = ( y -5)

`:\implies` 6( x +2) = y -5

`:\implies` 6x +12= y -5

`:\implies` 6x - y +17=0

Hence the equation of the line is 6x - y +17=0
