Q. 23 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

Graph the line containing the point P and having slope m.

$P(1,2),m=3$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The graph is 

Step 1. Given Information

The given point is $P(1,2)$ and slope 3.

Step 2. Explanation and Graph

We know that slope is 3 or $\frac{3}{1}$.

Since, $m=\frac{Rise}{Run}$that is for every horizontal movement of 1 unit to the right there will be a vertical movement of 3 units.

Start from point $P(1,2)$ and move 1 unit to the right and then 3 units up to get the second point that is $Q(2,5)$.

Draw a line passing through both the points.
