To show that \( k - y_1 = m(h - x_1) \), we will use the definition of the slope of a line passing through two points. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: We have two points on the line: \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(h, k) \). 2. **Understand the Slope Formula**: The slope \( m \) of the line passing through points \( A \) and \( B \) is given by the formula: \[ ...
