Question

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (5,7).

Explanation please

Answer 1

y = 3x - 8

Explanation:

`y=mx+b\\y=3x+b\\7=3(5)+b\\7=15+b\\-8=b\\\\y=3x-8`

Here, we used slope-intercept form to solve for the unknown y-intercept so the graph of the line will pass through (5,7) initially given our slope of 3.
