Honors problem 12

Question

Write Standard-Form for a line with the slope of 5 and the point (2,5)

Answer 1

The standard form of a line is written in the form: Ax + By = C

 

With a slope m=5 and a point (2,5), we can plug these values into the point-slope formula to get the equation of the line.

 

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - (5) = (5) (x - (2))

y - 5 = 5x - 10

y = 5x - 5

-5x + y = -5
