How do you write the point slope form of the equation given (5,5) and slope 3/5?

Answer 1

#y-5=3/5(x-5)#

The formula for the point-slope is as follows: #y-y_1=m(x-x_1)# where #m# is the slope and #(x_1,y_1)# is a given coordinate:

We already have these two quantities:

#m=3/5# And our coordinate is #(5,5)# which we can let be #(x_1,y_1)#

Let's substitute this information into the point slope formula:

#y-5=3/5(x-5)#

To write the point-slope form of the equation with the given point (5,5) and slope 3/5, use the formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is the given point and m is the slope. Substituting the given values, the equation becomes: y - 5 = (3/5)(x - 5).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
