A line passes through the point ,( 2,−1 ) and has a slope of 5/2. Write an equation in point-slope form for this line.

y  =   x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

        Coordinates  = (2, - 1)

   Slope of the line =

Solution:

In slope - intercept format, a line is written as:

            y  = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

        let us find the y - intercept of this line;

        - 1  =   x 2 + c

           c = -1 - 5  = -6

Equation of the line is ;

           y  =   x - 6
