Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–1, 5) and has a slope of 3 in point-slope form.

Answer 1

\[m = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]

Answer 2

Equation of a line in point slope form is:
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1)}\]

Answer 3

m is the slope so replace m with 3

and replace $$x_1$$ with -1 and $$y_1$$ with 5
