Question

There is a line that includes the point (10,3) and has a slope of 1/5 What is its equation in point-slope form?

Answer 1

y - 3 = m(x - 10)

Explanation:

The point-slope form is y - k = m(x - h). Here we are told that m = 1/5, h = 10 and k = 3, and therefore we have

y - 3 = m(x - 10)

Answer 2

y -3 = 1/5(x-10)

Explanation:

The point slope form of the equation of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y -3 = 1/5(x-10)
