Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line passing through the given point with the given slope. (5,2) m=3

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2 = 3(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (5, 2), thus

y - 2 = 3(x - 5) ← equation of line

Answer 2

Answer:

y - 2 = 3(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the general point-slope equation:

y - k = m(x - h)

Now substitute 2 for k, 5 for h and 3 for m:

y - 2 = 3(x - 5)
