A line that includes the point (8, 5) has a slope of \(\frac{1}{6}\). What is its equation in point-slope form?
Answer (2)
y-y1=m(x-x1) y-5=1/6(x-8) y-5=1/6x-4/3 -1/6x+y=11/3 multiply both sides by -6 x-6y=-22
The equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (8, 5) with a slope of 6 1 is y − 5 = 6 1 ( x − 8 ) . This format allows you to easily see the slope and point used to define the line. You can also convert it to slope-intercept form if needed.
