Question

Write a equation of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and has a slope of 5

Answer 1

To get the Slope-Intercept form of a line, you first need to put it into Point-Slope form, which is
`y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)` where
`x_1` and
`y_1` are the given coordinates and m is the given slope. So, plug your given information into the equation.

y + 3 = 5 (x + 2) Use the Distributive Property
y + 3 = 5x + 10 Subtract 3 from both sides
y = 5x + 7
