Write an equation in point slope form for a line that passes through (2,3) (1,5)
1 answer:
Answer:
y = -2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
P.S: I solved it twice to show you that it doesn't matter which point you choose, you will get the same result.
But it is important when you calculate the slope

Since it is perpendicular to y=3x-1, the slope must be a negative reciprocal.
there the slope of the perpendicular line is
So now we have,
To find b, we use the point that the line passes through and substitute it to the y and x values.
which would give us b=5/3
Therefore, the equation of the line is
