slope m
given point (h,k)
any unknown point (x,y)


m=%28y-k%29%2F%28x-h%29

m%28x-h%29=y-k%29

highlight%28y-k=m%28x-h%29%29
Use YOUR given values.

Consider it as your TEMPLATE.


Read it attentively, and then solve your problem similarly.


If after reading the referred solution you still have even smallest difficulties, then consult my lesson
    - Equation for a straight line having a given slope and passing through a given point
in this site, where you will find detailed instructions on how to solve such problems.

Please keep in mind that my true goal is not to solve TWIN problems one after another for you.

My goal is DIFFERENT.

It is to provide you with good sources.

I firmly believe that in this way you will learn on how to solve these (or such) simple problems on your own -

- if (of course) you have a wish and a desire to do it !
