Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (2, 6) and has a slope of 5?

y−6=5(x−2)
y+2=5(x+6)

Answer 1

The answer is y-6=5[x-2]

Explanation:

I just finished the test and got 100%

Answer 2

Answer:
`y-6=5(x-2)`

Explanation:

1. You have that the point slope formula is:

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

Where
`m` is the slope and
`(x_1,y_1)` the given point.

2. You know the point (2,6) and the slope 5, which are given in the problem, therefore you only need to substitute values, as you can see below:

`m=5\\x_1=6\\y_1=2\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-6=5(x-2)`

3. Therefore, the answer is
`y-6=5(x-2)`
