We can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line L\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" Start with the point-slope formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=5%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" Plug in \"m=5\" (the given slope)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-%28-3%29=5%28x-1%29\" Plug in \"x%5B1%5D=1\" and \"y%5B1%5D=-3\" (the given point)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B3=5%28x-1%29\" Rewrite \"y-%28-3%29\" as \"y%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B3=5x-5\" Distribute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x-5-3\" Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x-8\" Combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation of the line L that has a slope of 5 that goes through the point (1,-3) is \"y=5x-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
