Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m.
(5,-1) m=2
I not sure about this one
I got 2x-y=11
correct
thanks
To find the equation in standard form of a line passing through a given point (5, -1) with a given slope m = 2, you can use the formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.
Plugging in the values, we get:
y - (-1) = 2(x - 5)
Simplifying further:
y + 1 = 2(x - 5)
Expanding:
y + 1 = 2x - 10
Rearranging the equation to standard form (Ax + By = C):
2x - y = 11
Therefore, the equation in standard form of the line passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 2 is: 2x - y = 11.
