Question

Write the equation of the line passing through point P and having slope m.
P(3, 5) and m = 2

Answer 1

Here, point P(3, 5) lies on the line and slope, m = 2.
Equation of the line in point slope form is given by
y $-$ y₁ = m(x $-$ x₁)
⇒ y $-$ 5 = 2(x $-$ 3)
⇒ y $-$ 5 = 2x $-$ 6
∴ 2x $-$ y $-$1 = 0, which is the required equation.
