Question

Write an equation in point slope form for the line with a slope of 3 passes through (1,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-2=3(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where

m is the slope

$x_1$ is the x-coordinate of the point given (passing through the line)

$y_1$ is the y-coordinate of the point given (passing through the line)

Now,

Given,

Slope = m = 3

$x_1$ = 1

$y_1$ = 2

Now, we simply plug these into the formula for point-slope form of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-2=3(x-1)$

This is the point-slope form.
