Answer:

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept.

To find your equation with what you are given, you have to plug in your values.

(-5, 6) = (x, y) so plug -5 in where there is x and 6 in where there is y

then your slope, m, is 2 so plug 2 in where there is m.

so it should look like

6=2(-5)+b, now you are solving for b.

6 = -10+b

+10 +10

___________

16 = b Then take the values and plug back into the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b.

Plug 16 in for b and 2 in for m (m represents slope and they told us the slope =2)

*you no longer need the y and x values because you only use those to solve for m or b, in this case b, so leave y and x in your equations*

y=2x+16
