Question

How do you write the point slope form of the equation given (5,5) and slope 3/5?

Answer 1

`y-5=3/5(x-5)`

Explanation:

The formula for the point-slope is as follows: `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`
where `m` is the slope and `(x_1,y_1)` is a given coordinate:

We already have these two quantities:

`m=3/5`
And our coordinate is `(5,5)` which we can let be `(x_1,y_1)`

Let's substitute this information into the point slope formula:

`y-5=3/5(x-5)`
