Math Name Institution #21 Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line described. through: (5, 1), parallel to y =1/5x + 1 y=mx+b Parallel lines have the same slope Therefore, the slope m for the line described by (5, 1) = 1/5 Point-slope form of the equation is given by y – y1 = m(x – x1) (x1 , y1) = point
