Question

Find the equation of aline with gradient 3 and passes through (5,1)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given m = 3 and point P (5, 1)

use point slope form

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

x1 = 5 and y1 = 1

therefore the equation can be written as

y - 1 = 3(x - 5)

=> y - 1 = 3x - 15

=> 0 = 3x - 15 - y + 1

=> 3x - y - 14 = 0
