Question

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (2,5) and a slope of m =10 in point slope form

Answer 1

y=10x-15

Explanation:

with the points given you know x=2 and y=5

make a new point called (x,y)

now use the formula (y-5)/(x-2)=10 (10 being the gradient)

y-5 = 10(x-2)

y-5=10x-20

add 5 to both sides

y-5+5=10x-20+5

y=10x-15

Answer 2

Since we're given a point and a slope, we can write

the equation of this line using the point-slope formula.

The point-slope formula is shown at the top of the image below.

The given point, (2,5), represents (x1,y1).

Now plug in the information to get the equation below.

Now you can distribute the 10.

Then add 5 to both sides.

You will end up with the equation y = 10x - 15 as your answer.
