Question

Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has slope 2 and passes through point A(-3,

-1)

a- y=5x+2
b- y=2x=5
c-y=-2x=5
d- 2x-5

Answer 1

For y = mx + b, we will use the x and y from the given point (-3, -1) and the slope (m) of 2. -1 = 2(-3) + b. -1=-6+b and b = 5. So the equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x + 5, I think choice b (but you have an = sign in place of the + or -).
