Question

A line has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (2, -17). What is its equation in

slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

y = x - 19

Explanation:

slope: 1/1x

(2,-17) Subtract by slope until x = 0, so you can get the y-intercept.

(1,-18)

(0,-19)

y - intercept: (0,-19)

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

y = x -19
