Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for each line (If possible please show work)

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 1/2(y -3)

Explanation:

Begin by finding the slope using the slope formula:

`m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Plug in the coordinates:

`m = (4-3)/(2-0)`

Simplify:

`m = (1)/(2)`

Recall that point-slope form is:

`(x-x_(1)) = m(y-y_(1))`

Plug in the slope and coordinates into the equation:

(x - 0) = 1/2(y - 3)

x = 1/2(y -3)
