Q. 24 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

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

$P(2,1), m=4$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The graph is 

Step 1. Given Information

The given point is $P(2,1)$ and slope is 4.

Step 2. Explanation and Graph

We know that slope is 4 or $\frac{4}{1}$.

Since, $m=\frac{rise}{run}$that is for every horizontal movement of 1 unit to the right there will be a vertical movement of 4 units.

Start from point $P(2,1)$ and move 1 unit to the right and then 4 units up to get the second point that is $Q(3,5)$

Draw a line passing through both the points.
