Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and has a
slope of 5.

Answer 1

y = 5x + 14

Explanation:

An equation consists of y = mx + b. The m is the slope, which we already know is 5.

To find the y-intercept, plug the coordinates into the equation so far, which is y = 5x + b.

y = 5x + b

4 = 5(-2) + b

4 = -10 + b

14 = b

So the equations is y = 5x + 14.
