Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−3,−1) and has a slope of 2?

Answer 1

y = 2x + 5

Explanation:

`y = mx + c\\-1=2(-3)+c\\-1=-6+c\\c=-1 +6\\c=5\\\\y=mx+c\\y= 2x+5`

Answer 2

y = 2x + 5

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

m = 2

Y-intercept is located at (0, 5)

So, our equation is y = 2x + 5
