Now, let’s use the graph to write the equation in point-slope form this time.To write an equation in point-slope form, we need the slope and one point on the line. We already know the slope so let’s state that again so we don’t forget.m=12𝑚=12We just need one point on the graph (usually we pick a different point than the y𝑦-intercept). We used two points to find the slope so let’s just pick one of those. We will use the point (2,−1)(2,−1). We have the slope and a point so now let’s plug it into point-slope form.y−y1=m(x−x1)𝑦−𝑦1=𝑚(𝑥−𝑥1)y−(−1)=𝑦−(−1)=  (x−(𝑥− ))y+1=12(x−2)𝑦+1=12(𝑥−2)

Solution

The equation in point-slope form is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

From the given information, we know that the slope m = 12 and the point (x1, y1) = (2, -1).

Substituting these values into the point-slope form equation, we get:

y - (-1) = 12(x - 2)

Simplifying this, we get:

y + 1 = 12(x - 2)

So, the equation of the line in point-slope form is y + 1 = 12(x - 2).

To write an equation in slope-intercept form when given the slope and a point, you will need to follow several steps.Step 1: Begin by writing the formula for slope-intercept form: y=mx+b𝑦=𝑚𝑥+𝑏.Step 2: Substitute the given slope for m𝑚.Step 3: Use the ordered pair you are given (x,y)(𝑥,𝑦) and substitute these values for the variables x𝑥 and y𝑦 in the equation.Step 4: Solve for b𝑏 (the y𝑦-intercept of the graph).Step 5: Rewrite the original equation in Step 1, substituting the slope for m𝑚 and the y𝑦-intercept for b𝑏.First, determine what information is given. The value of the slope (m𝑚) is 33 and the line passes through the point (9,6)(9,6) which are the coordinates of a point (x,y)(𝑥,𝑦) on the line.
