Question

Find the equation of the line determined by the given information.
10.m= 1; P = (-7, 0)

Answer 1

y = x + 7

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 1 and (a, b ) = (- 7, 0 ) , then

y - 0 = 1 (x - (- 7) ) , that is

y = 1 (x + 7) ← distribute by 1

y = x + 7 ← in slope- intercept form
