Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 4 that contains the point (5, 8).

Group of answer choices

y=4x+28

y=4x-12

y=4x-27

y=4x+8

Answer 1

Answer: y = 4x - 12

Explanation:

The formula for finding equation of line given the slope and a point is given as :

`y -y_(1)` = m (
`x -x_(1)` )

m = 4

`x_(1)`= 5

`y_(1)`= 8

substituting into the formula , we have :

y - 8 = 4 (x - 5 )

y - 8 = 4x - 20

y = 4x - 20 + 8

y = 4x - 12
