Question

Write an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope (2,1);m=-3/2

Answer 1

The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

In this case:

x1 = 2 , y1 = 1 , m = - 3 / 2

y - 1 = - 3 / 2 ( x - x1 )

Answer 2

Since x1 = 2

y - 1 = - 3 / 2 ( x - 2 )
