Find an equation in standard form of the line passing through the point (2,5) with slope m = 5.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "given: m = 5; x1 = 2; y1 = 5, substitute:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = 5(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = 5x - 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 10 + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form: ax + by = c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-5x + y = -5; subtracted 5x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "+5x - y = +5; multiplied eq by -1
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
