| Question 945298:  find the slope, a point on the line, and graph the following equation
 y-1=2(x-3)
 This is what I did.  I want to check my work and ensure I am following directions correctly.
 y=2x-5
 m=2/1
 b=-5
 Now I graph a point on the y axis at negative 5 and then rise 2 and run 1, correct?

 ==============
 It's correct.
 You can pick any value for x and find y.
 eg, x = 3, y = 1 --> the point (3,1)
