Does this formula look familiar 

$$\Large y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$$

simmy2497 · Answer

not really

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so your teacher hasn't gone over point slope form at all?

simmy2497 · Answer

she has but its just really confusing me

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you're more familiar with y = mx+b maybe?

simmy2497 · Answer

kinda

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

those two forms are different ways to express linear equations where m = slope

with point slope form (x1,y1) is the point the line goes through

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

So all we do is plug in the given info

m = 2
x1 = 1
y1 = 3

to get...

$$\Large y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$$
$$\Large y - 3 = 2(x-1)$$

and that's all there is to it

simmy2497 · Answer

oh ok that kinda makes more sense.!! y−3=2(x−1) would be the answer?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

correct

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you just need to memorize that basic template. Then make replacements

Thank you!
