Question

Using the structure of the equation, what point do you

know the line passes through?
y+2 = 5x

Answer 1

Explanation:

"structure" means we are looking at a point-slope form

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

"a" being the slope, (x1, y1) being a point on the line.

so,

y + 2 = 5x tells us

the slope is 5.

and the point (x1, y1) is (0, -2)
