when you're given a point and a slope and you're trying to figure out an equation you use the point-slope equation: y-y1=m(x-x1) x1 and y1 are the x and y coordinates of the point given and m is the slope example: slope is 5 point (4/5, 6) plug them in to the equation y-6=5(x-4/5) y-6=5x-4 distribute 5 y=5x-4+6 add 6 to both sides y=5x+2 combine like terms
Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the value of m the slope. 5y = - 5x + 7 y = x - 7/5 The slope is given by the coefficient of x which is 1.
