Exercise 5 Page 171

Consider the Slope Formula to write the equation.

See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Notice that we can give infinitely many example. However, let's assume that our line has a slope and it passes through the point In order to write an equation for the line, we will use the Slope Formula.
In the formula, and are the points that appear on the line and is the slope of the line. Therefore, we will assume that is any point that our line passes through different than Let's apply the formula.
As a result, our equation is
