How do you write the point slope form of the equation given m=6 and (2,5)?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#y=6x-7#

#y-y_0=m(x-x_0)#

We are given the slope #m=6#, and the point #(2,5)#, which gives us #x_0# and #y_0#

So, #y-y_0=m(x-x_0)=>y-5=6(x-2)#

#=>y-5=6x-12#

#=>y=6x-7#

Hope this helps :)

The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line. Given m = 6 and the point (2,5), the equation in point-slope form is y - 5 = 6(x - 2).

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.
