What is the point slope form of an equation with the slope 3/5 that passes through the point (10,2)?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

point slope form:

$$y-2 = \frac{3}{5}(x-10)$$

amistre64 · Answer

$$y-Py = m(x-Px)$$

yah you are  correct.  mistaken

anonymous · Answer

amistre got your signs right? you sure its + or -?

anonymous · Answer

The signs are correct.  To see this consider what the slope of a line means.  Slope of a line is rise/run or $$m = \Delta y / \Delta x$$ Or m= y-2/x-10  
where (2,10) is a given point on the line and x, y is any other point on the line.  We know the slope is 3/5 so our equation become 3/5=y-2/x-10 which rearranges to point-slope form as y-2=3/5(x-10)

well i have a booklet and the answer he gave is incorrect, there are 2 similar options and the signs are mixed, the + and -

anonymous · Answer

If the given point is (+2,+10) and slope is m=+3/5 then the answer we gave is correct (and your booklet is wrong).  Are you sure of the signs on the given point?

ooops given point should read (+10, +2) above
