whats the equation for each line with the given slope and point of (2,7),m=5/6.
:
Use the point/slope equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
:
In this problem: x1=2; y1=7; m=5%2F6
:
y - 7 = 5%2F6(x - 2)
:
y - 7 = 5%2F6x - 2*5%2F6
:
y - 7 = 5%2F6x - 5%2F3
:
y = 5%2F6x - 5%2F3 + 7
:
y = 5%2F6x - 5%2F3 + 21%2F3
:
y = 5%2F6x + 16%2F3
:
:
Check solution by finding y when x = 2
y = 5%2F6(2) + 16%2F3
y = 5%2F3 + 16%2F3
y = 21%2F3
y = 7
