Given:
(2, 6)
x1 = 2
y1 =6
Write teh equation of the line.
The equation of the line can be written as
Point-slope form:
y - y1 =m(x -x1)
Solution:
Before we can write in point-slope form, we must first find the slope of the line, we can find the slope by using the slope formula.
m = y2 -y1 /x2 -x1
m= 6/2
m = 3
Substitute the given values of x1, m and y1 to the formula for the point-slope form.
y - 6 = 3 ( x -2)
Final answer:
y - 6 = 3 ( x -2)
