Use the information given to find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)). Then convert your answer to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).(4,2) with a slope of 5The point slope form is (y-Answer)=Answer(x-Answer)Converting it to slope intercept form gives us: y=Answerx+Answer

The point is (4,2) and the slope is 5 so it follows:


\begin{gathered} y-2=5(x-4) \\ y-2=5x-20 \\ y=5x-18 \end{gathered}

So the equation is y=5x-18.
