Question

Find the point-slope equation of the line using the point (5, 3) and slope 3/2​

Answer 1

(y-y1) = m(x-x1)

(y - 3) = m(3/2 - 5)

y - 3 = -7/2m

y - 3 + 3 = -7/2m + 3

y = -7/2m + 3

Explanation:

1. write down the point-slope formula.

2. replace the letters by their values

3. do parenthesis, then multiply

4. add 3 to both sides

5. you get your answer
