Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form given (2, 5) with a slope of 3?

Answer 1

`3x-y-1=0`

Explanation:

Equation of line passing through a point `(x_1,y_1)` and having a slope of `m` in point-slope form is given by `(y-y_1)=m)x-x_1)`

Hence equation of line passing through `(2,5)` and having slope `3` will be

`(y-5)=3(x-2)` or `y-5=3x-6` or

`3x-y-1=0`
