Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6.

Answer 1

point slope, where slope is m, and point is \(\large\color{black}{(x_1,y_1) }\)

\(\large\color{black}{ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) }\)

Answer 2

Examples:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when slope is 3, and point is \(\large\color{black}{ (4,5) }\)

then, the line is: \(\large\color{black}{ y-5=3(x-4) }\)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when slope is 2, and point is \(\large\color{black}{ (-8,1) }\)

then, the line is: \(\large\color{black}{ y-1=2(x+8) }\)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when slope is 5, and point is \(\large\color{black}{ (2,-3) }\)

then, the line is: \(\large\color{black}{ y+3=5(x-2) }\)
