If given the slope of a line and a point on it, writing an equation for the line in point slope form, is very straight forward. Simply substitute in the slope and point.
Point-slope form is given by the equation shown below. SlopeInput Output y-coordinate of a point on the line x-coordinate of the same point on the line
If the slope of a line is 5 and a point on the line is (7,12), write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
SlopeInput Output y-coordinate of a point on the line x-coordinate of the same point on the line
Substitute in values and simplify Equation of the line in point-slope form
