Using the (surprise, surprise) "point-slope formula". The slope of a line is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). If we let y2 and x2 be the variables x and y and multiply by y, we get y - y1 = m(x - x1).

The slope of the line below is 2 Write the point slope equation for the line using the coordinates of the labeled point 1 9?
The equation for a line of slope m going through point (Xo, Yo) is given by: y - Yo = m(x - Xo) So for line of slope 2 going through (1, 9) the equation is: y - 9 = 2(x - 1) ⇒ y = 2x + 7

Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of 3 and contains the point 2 5?
y=2x+1
How do I write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line Write the answer in slope-intercept form?
The standard equation for a straight line is y = mx + c. Let this be the equation of the original line. Note that m and c are known values. Let the given point coordinates be (a,b)Two straight lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients (slopes) is -1.The slope (m1) of the perpendicular line is therefore m1 = -1/mWhen y = b then x = a so the equation for the perpendicular line is y = m1x + d, and substituting gives : b = -a/m + d and this will enable d to be calculated.NOTE : In the absence of information for the equation of the original line and the coordinates of the given point then this is a general rather than a specific answer.
What is the perpendicular equation that meets the line of 2 3 and 5 7 at its midpoint showing key aspects of work?
Here are the key steps:* Find the midpoint of the given line. * Find the slope of the given line. * Divide -1 (minus one) by this slope, to get the slope of the perpendicular line. * Write an equation for a line that goes through the given point, and that has the given slope.
How do write an equation of a line when given the slope a point of the line?
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
What is an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line?
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line (-7,3); x=4
How do you write an equation in slope intercept form with a given point?
Slope Intercept form is meant for a line, so if you know the slope m in the equation y=mx+b then with a given point say (3,4) and say the slope of the line was 2 then the equation would read y=2x+4.
What is used to write a equation of a line with a given slope that passes through a given point?

How does using the point - slope form of a linear equation make it easier to write the equation of a line?
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.
