Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope. Use variables x, y.

(-2,5), m is 5

Answer 1

y = 5x + 15

Explanation:

the equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

where x,y are the given co-ordinates

m is slope which is given as well

b is the constant which we have to find,

y = mx + b, by substituting the given values in the equation

5 = 5(-2) + b

5 = -10 + b

b = 5 + 10 = 15

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 5x + 15
