Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through point p and has the given slope? @ehuman
P (10, 1) slope 1/5

Answer 1

Its to early fo math

(ಥ_ಥ) xDD MMk i had to say that :P

Answer 2

Im never good with graphs or slopes.

Answer 3

P (10, 1) slope 1/5

Do you know the point slope form a of a line?

Slope = m = Rise/Run = \(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}\) = \(\frac{change~~in~~y}{change~~in~~x}\) = m = \(\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}\)

Or

\(y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\)

And you are given a point through which the line passes = P(10,1) = (\(x_1,y_1\))

Slope (m) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Put them in the formula and you'll get the line equation. :)

Understood? :)

Answer 4

@AkashdeepDeb
So far I understand that ?-1=1/5 (?-10)

Answer 5

?-1=1/5 (?-10)

Better to write it like this: y-1 = 1/5 * (x-10)

THAT IS IT. NOW JUST CALCULATE! :D

5*(y-1) = (x-10)
5y - 5 = x-10

x - 5y = 5

Got it? :)
