Question

which is the equation of a line in point slope form that passes through the point 2,5 and has a slope of 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - 2 = 4(x- -1)

y - 2 = 4(x+1)

slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4x+b

Substituting the point in

2 = 4(-1)+b

2 = -4+b

6 =b

y = 4x+6

standard form

Ax +by = c  where A is a positive integer and b and c are integers

y = 4x+6

Subtract 4x from each side

-4x+y = 6

Multiply by -1

4x -y = 6
