Question

a line passes through the point (-3,-5) and has a slope of 5 write an equation in point slope form for this line

Answer 1

`y=5x+10`

Explanation:

1) Plug numbers into slope formula to find
`b`.

`y=mx+b`

`-5=5(-3)+b`

2) Simplify to find
`b`.

`-5=-15+b`

`10=b`

3) Check work.

`-5=-15+10`

This statement is true.

4) Write equation.

`y=5x+10`
