Math Problem Statement
Write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
Solution
The equation of a line in point-slope form is given by:
where is a point on the line and is the slope of the line. From your image, the point lies on the line.
To find the slope , we can use the information from the grid in the image. We need another point on the line to calculate the slope. It appears that the line crosses the y-axis at and the x-axis at , giving us another point, .
Calculating the slope using the points and :
Now substituting and the point into the point-slope equation:
Therefore, the equation of the line in point-slope form is:
