Question

The equation of the line with m = 5 that goes through (-1, -2) is

Answer 1

Remember that

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is given by

y=mx+b

In this problem we have

m=5

point (-1,-2)

substitute and solve for b

-2=5(-1)+b

-2=-5+b

b=-2+5

b=3

therefore

The equation is

y=5x+3
