Answer:
y= mx +c
Step-by-step explanation:
The point- slope form of an equation is
y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
You can find the value of m by using the gradient formula.
Then substitute the value of m found into the equation. Next substitute a pair of coordinates the line passes through to find the value of c. Substitute the value of c and you will obtain the point-slope form equation of the line.
<u>Here's an example.</u>
Point-slope form of an equation passing through (1, 2) and (5, 6).
① Finding gradient, m.
② Substitute value of m into equation.
y= 1x +c
y= x +c
③ Substitute a pair of coordinates.
when x=1, y=2,
2= 1 +c
c= 2 -1
c= 1
Thus the equation of the line is y= x +1.
