Answer:
Point-slope form:
Slope intercept form:
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form:
y1 and x1 are the y and x coordinates for a point on the line.
m is the slope.
We know m, as it is given:
m = 1/5
We also know a point on the line, (10, 1).
Here, the x-coordinate is 10, and the y-coordinate is 1.
Thus we can say the following:
And, from previously:
Let's put these values into our equation.
If we want to answer in slope-intercept form:
We can continue based on our point-form expression to isolate y:
Add 1 to both sides:
Expanding the parenthesis (multiplying 1/5 with x and -10):
Point-slope form:
Slope intercept form:
