Write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 5) with a slope of 3 in point-slope form.

y – 2 = 3(x – 5)

y + 8 = 3(x + 5)

y + 5 = 3(x + 2)

y – 5 = 3(x – 2)

Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 5) with a slope of 3 in point-slope form.

y – 2 = 3(x – 5)

y + 8 = 3(x + 5)

y + 5 = 3(x + 2)

y – 5 = 3(x – 2)

helder_edwin · Answer

the equatio for such a line is
$$ \large y-y_0=m(x-x_0) $$
you have $m=3$ and \((x_0,y_0)\=(2,5))

helder_edwin · Answer

sorry
$$ \large (x_0,y_0)=(2,5) $$

anonymous · Answer

I'm sorry, What??

helder_edwin · Answer

the equation u r supposed to write has the form
$$ \large y-y_0=m(x-x_0) $$
u know this, right??

anonymous · Answer

No sir..

helder_edwin · Answer

OK.
but how come u have to do this???

helder_edwin · Answer

anyway
$$ \large y-5=3(x-2) $$

anonymous · Answer

It's a pre test :p I'm sorry about that
