Question 219415: Please help me solve the problem
For the point slope equation given, state the slope and the point on the graph used in creating the equation.
y= 10/7(x-11)
Answer by jsmallt9(3759) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The general point-slope form is:

where m is the slope and (, ) is a point on the line.

In your equation:

we can see that the m is 10/7 and that is 11. But what is the ? Your equation has just "y" on the left side. It's "supposed" to be . What would have to be in order for to be just "y"? In other words, y minus what number is equal to y? I hope by now that it is obvious that .

So the slope is 10/7 and the point on the graph is (11, 0).
