Write the equations of three lines that intersect only at the point (1; 5).
.
Apply "point-slope" form:
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
.
Line 1:
assume m=1 with point (1,5)
y-5 = 1(x-1)
y-5 = x-1
y = x+4 (line 1)
.
Line 2:
assume m=2 with point (1,5)
y-5 = 2(x-1)
y-5 = 2x-2
y = 2x+3 (line 2)
.
Line 3:
assume m=3 with point (1,5)
y-5 = 3(x-1)
y-5 = 3x-3
y = 3x+2 (line 3)
