Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given m = 5 and passes through the point (2, -6)?

Answer 1

`y+6=5(x-2)`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"point-slope form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`"where m is the slope and "(x_1,y_1)" a point on the line"`

`"here "m=5" and "(x_1,y_1)=(2,-6)`

`"substitute these values into the equation"`

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

`y+6=5(x-2)larrcolor(red)"in point-slope form"`
