That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
write an equation that has a slope 7 and passes through the point (2,17)
You can have infinitely many lines through one specific point, each with a different equation. If you want to have a general equation for ANY line that goes through that point, use the point-slope equation for a line, and use a variable for the slope.
Slope: -13 Point: (5, 7) Equation: y = -13x+72 whereas -13 is the slope and 72 is the y intercept
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
If you mean a slope of -10 through the point (1, 4) then the equation is y = -10x+14
If you mean a slope of -12 through the point (5, 3) the equation is y = -12x+63
If you mean slope of -10 and point of (1, 4) then the equation is y = -10x+14
If you mean: slope of -13 and point of (5, 7) then the equation is y = -13x+72
write an equation that has a slope 7 and passes through the point (2,17)
Point: (1, 4) Slope: -3 Equation: y = -3x+7
The point slope equation is (y - 9) = 5*(x - 4)
You can have infinitely many lines through one specific point, each with a different equation. If you want to have a general equation for ANY line that goes through that point, use the point-slope equation for a line, and use a variable for the slope.
It is: y = -10x+14
It is: y = -10x+14
Slope: -13 Point: (5, 7) Equation: y = -13x+72 whereas -13 is the slope and 72 is the y intercept
