Answer:

[tex]y-2=\frac{1}{5} (x-2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is [tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex]

[tex]m[/tex] is slope

[tex]x_{1}[/tex] is the x value of one of the points that the line passes through

[tex]y_{1}[/tex] is the y value of one of the points that the line passes through

So given this we know the slope or "m" is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

And since the line passes through (2,2) the y value is 2 and the x value is 2

So, [tex]x_{1} =2[/tex] and [tex]y_{1} =2[/tex]

Now we just fill in the values we know

[tex]y-2=\frac{1}{5} (x-2)[/tex]

This is the point slope form
