Question

Write the point-slope form of the line's equation satisfying the given conditions. Then use the point-slope form of the equation to write the slope-intercept form of the equation

Slope = 4, passing through (5,3)

Answer 1

y = 4x - 17

Explanation:

1. (y - y1)=m(x - x1) point-slope formula: slope = 4

2. (y - 3) = 4 (x - 5) substitute x and y values: (5, 3)

3. y - 3 = 4x - 20 simplify

4. y = 4x - 20 + 3 rearrange

5. y = 4x -17 solve
