Beginning Algebra With Applications, Chapter 5, 5.4, Section 5.4, Problem 26

Using the point slope formula, find the equation of the line that passes through the point whose coordinates are (3,1) and has slope of 23


(x1,y1)=(3,1)Let (x1,y1) be the given pointm=23m is the given slopeyy1=m(xx1)Point slope formulay(1)=23(x3)Substitute 3 for x1 for y and 23 for my+1=23x2Rewrite the equation in the form y=mx+by=23x3Add 1
