Find a point P on the curve y = sqrt{x} such that the slope of the line through P and (1, 1) is 1/4.
Must I use the slope-intercept formula here?

Prove It said:Just the slope formula, with the points (1, 1) and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \left( x, \sqrt{x} \right) \end{align*}$.
The purpose of finding point P is to determine the exact location of a specific point on a graph or in a coordinate system.
To find point P, you will need at least one coordinate pair, such as (x, y) or (latitude, longitude).
There are several methods for finding point P, including using a ruler and protractor to measure the coordinates on a graph, using a GPS device to determine the latitude and longitude, or using mathematical equations to calculate the coordinates.
Finding point P accurately is important because it allows for precise and reliable measurements and calculations, which can be crucial in scientific research and experiments.
Yes, point P can be found in three-dimensional space using a coordinate system with three axes, such as the x, y, and z axes. This allows for the location of a point in three-dimensional space to be determined with greater accuracy.
