Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through a (-3,5) and has a slope of 6

Answer 1

the equation of the line is:

y = 6x + 23

Explanation:

general form of the equation of the line is:

y = mx + b

where:

slope, m = 6

x, y co-ordinates = -3, 5

let's substitute the values in the equation to find the constant, b:

5 = 6(-3) + b

5 + 18 = b

b = 23

thus, the equation of the line is:

y = 6x + 23
