Answer:


\boxed{y - 6 = (3)/(5) (x - 5)}

Explanation:

Given:

  • Line passes through: (5,6)
  • Slope = 3/5 = 0.6

Formula:


  • y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [\text{m = Slope}; \ (x_1},y_(1)) = \text{Coordinates of point}]

Substitute the values into point slope form to determine the equation of the line in point slope form.


\implies y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) )


\implies \boxed{y - 6 = (3)/(5) (x - 5)}

point-slope form:

  • y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

slope intercept form:

  • y = mx + b

Equation:


\sf \hookrightarrow y-6 = (3)/(5) (x-5)
\sf [ \ this \ is \ point \ slope \ form \ equation \ ]


\sf \hookrightarrow y-6 = (3)/(5) x-3 ----------------


\sf \hookrightarrow y= (3)/(5) x-3+6 -------------------


\sf \hookrightarrow y= (3)/(5) x+3
\sf [ \ this \ is \ slope \ intercept \ form \ equation \ ]
