How do you write the point slope form of the equation given (5,3) and slope 4/5?

1 Answer

#(y - color(red)(3)) = color(blue)(4/5)(x - color(red)(5))#

Explanation:

The point-slope formula states: #(y - color(red)(y_1)) = color(blue)(m)(x - color(red)(x_1))#

Where #color(blue)(m)# is the slope and #color(red)(((x_1, y_1)))# is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the values from the problem gives:

#(y - color(red)(3)) = color(blue)(4/5)(x - color(red)(5))#
