Question

A line has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (-2, 6). What is its equation in point-

siope form?
Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions,
and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.

Answer 1

y = x + 8

Explanation:

Slope = 1

x coordinate = -2

y coordinate = 6

Linear Equation:

`y = mx + c`

where m = slope & c = y-intercept

Finding c:

6 = 1(-2) + c

c = 8

Final Equation:

y = x + 8
