Question

A line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (1, 0). What is its equation in

slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

y = 5x - 5

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 5

b = ?

Plug in the coordinates

0 = 5(1) + b

0 = 5 + b

-5 = b

Finally:

y = 5x - 5

Answer 2

y=5x-5

Explanation:

find y-intercept:

0=1(5)+b

b=-5
