Question

A line has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (-5, 4). What is its equation in

slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

y = x + 9

Explanation:

y = mx + b Use the x and y from the point (-5,4) and the slope to find b. They you can write the equation. An ordered pair is in the form of (x,y)

y = mx + b

4 = (1)(-5) + b

4 = -5 + b Add 5 to both sides of the equation

9 = b

Now write the equation

y = x + 9
