What is the equation in point − slope form of the line passing through 1 2 and 2/5 )? 5 points?

Sagot :

The equation in point-slope form of the line passing through [tex](1,2)[/tex] and  [tex](2,5)[/tex] is [tex]y=3x-1[/tex]

To find the slope of the line is

[tex]m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } \\m=\frac{5-2}{2-1} \\m=\frac{3}{1} \\m=3[/tex]

The equation of the line is given by

[tex]y=mx+c.........(1)[/tex]

We have to use one point form to find the equation

The point [tex](1,2)[/tex] satisfies the equation

plug in the value of m, the equation becomes

[tex]2=3(1)+c\\2=3+c\\c=2-3\\c=-1[/tex]

Put the value of m,c in (1) equation

[tex]y=3x-1[/tex]

The equation of the line is [tex]y=3x-1[/tex].
