Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (7,2) and has a slope of 1?

Answer 1

y-2 = x-7

y = x -5 is the equation of the line with slope = 1 passing through the point (7,2)

the coefficient of the x term is the slope when the equation is solved for y

x has an implicit coefficient of 1

2 = 7 -5 when you plug (7,2) x= 7, y= 2 into the equation
