Question

The line through P (5, 3) intersects y-axis at Q.
write the equation of the line

Answer 1

The equation of a line passing through the point

A(x1, y1) with slope ‘m’ is
y – y₁ = m (x – x₁)
Therefore, the equation of the line passing
through the point P (5, 3) with slope 1 is
y -3 = 1 ×(x – 5)
⇒ y – 3 = x – 5
⇒ x – y = 2
