In the equation of the line is y = 2x + 5,, another point is (1, 7)

How to find another point

To find another point on the line, you can use the equation of the line

The equation of the line is y = 2x + 5,

to the right 1 unit is x = 1

Substituting x = 1 into the equation

y = 2x + 5

y = 2 (1) + 5

y = 7

Therefore, the resulting point is (1, 7)
