Question

Write the equation of the line described below in point-slope form.

Answer 1

`\text{Given that,}\\\\(x_1,y_1)=(3,1) ~ \text{and slope, m=2}\\\\\text{The equation,}\\\\y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y -1 = 2(x -3) \\\\\implies y = 2(x-3) +1 \\\\\implies y =2x-6 +1\\\\\implies y =2x -5`

Answer 2

y-1=2(x-3)

Explanation:

Point slope form is
`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )`. m = the slope.
`1=y_(1)` and
`3=x_(1)` now you plug it in. y-1=2(x-3).
