MHB Finding the Equation of a Line with Point-Slope Formula
Given m = a/b and the point (a, b), find the equation of the line. I got to use the point-slope formula. y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) y - b = (a/b)(x - a) y - b = (a/b)x - (a^2)/b y = (a/b)x - (a^2)/b + b y = (a/b)x + (b^2 - a^2)/b Is this correct?- mathdad
