Question

Consider the line with the given properties m=4 passing through p(-5,0) ​

Answer 1

y = 4x + 20

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 4, thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 5, 0) into the partial equation

0 = - 20 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 20 = 20

y = 4x + 20 ← equation of line
