A line passes through (x1, y1) and (h, k). If slope of the line is m, show that k – y1 = m (h – x1).

##### Solution :-

Given: the slope of the line is ‘m’

The slope of the line passing through (x1, y1) and

(h, k) is $$\dfrac{ (k – y_1)}{(h – x_1)}$$

So,

$$\dfrac{ (k – y_1)}{(h – x_1)}$$ = m

(k – y1) = m (h – x1)

Hence proved.
