The point-slope form of the line is y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29

Substitute the coordinate values from the given point and the given slope value.

y-5=3%28x-2%29

Done

If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of 3 which goes through the point (2,5), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:


---Point-Slope Formula---
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where m is the slope, and is the given point

So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line

y-5=3%28x-2%29 Plug in m=3, x%5B1%5D=2, and y%5B1%5D=5 (these values are given)


Since the problem wants the answer in point slope form, this is as far as we need to go.
