Question 577246: how do i solve a point slope eqaution
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The point-slope formula is used when you are
given ether:
(1) a point and a slope
(2) 2 points
------------
Suppose you are given 2 points such as
( 3,5 ) and ( 1,9 )
You can plug these into the point-slope formula
to find the equation of the line passing through these points

( note that both sides are ( change in y ) / ( change in x )

Multiply both sides by

check answer:
Does it pass through ( 3,5 )?

OK You can check other point
