Answer 1

To write the equation of a line in point-slope form, we can use the formula:

\[
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
\]

where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line and \( m \) is the slope.

Given the point \( (13, 5) \) and the slope \( 11 \), we can substitute these values into the point-slope form equation.

Here, \( x_1 = 13 \), \( y_1 = 5 \), and \( m = 11 \).

Substituting these values into the formula:

\[
y - 5 = 11(x - 13)
\]

This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.

You can simplify it further if needed, but in point-slope form, this is usually sufficient.
