Question

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 7 and a point (1, 8) on the line?

Express the equation in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y=7x+1`

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

`y=mx+b`

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem we have

`m=7`

`point(1,8)`

substitute and solve for b

`8=7(1)+b`

`8=7+b`

`b=8-7=1`

The equation of the line is equal to

`y=7x+1`
