What is the equation of the line with slope # m= 5/13 # that passes through # (17,19) #? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point 1 Answer Nicole May 24, 2016 #13y-5x-162=0# Explanation: Use the formula: #(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)# where #m# is the slope, or gradient. #y-19=5/13(x-17)# #13y-247=5x-85# #13y-5x-162=0# Answer link Related questions When writing an equation of a line, if I know more than one point, does it matter which one I choose?
