Question

Graph the equation using the point and the slope y – 5 =1/5(x - 1)

Answer 1

The given equation is:

$y\text{ - 5 = }\frac{1}{5}(x\text{ - 1)}$

The general equation of a line is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where, m represents the slope

Comparing the two equations above.

$m\text{ = }\frac{1}{5},x_1=1,y_1=\text{ 5}$

The point is therefore:

$(x_1,y_1)\text{ = ( 1, 5)}$
