Answer

Answers will vary.

Work Step by Step

Here, we simply need to find two different equations that go through the point (2,5). Point slope form will make this relatively easy. $$y_2-y_1=m(x_2-x_1)$$ We must have (2,5) as the point. This means: $$y-5=m(x-2)$$ For m, we will pick two different real number values. This gives the two equations: $$y-5=2(x-2)$$ $$y-5=3(x-2)$$
