Question

.Write the equation of the line with m = 3 going through the point (–2, –5). Put your answer in Slope–Intercept Form.

Answer 1

`y = 3x +1`

Explanation:

Given

`m = 3`

`(x_1,y_1) = (-2,-5)`

Required

The equation

This is calculated as:

`y = m(x - x_1) + y_1`

So, we have:

`y = 3(x - -2) -5`

`y = 3(x +2) -5`

Open bracket

`y = 3x +6 -5`

`y = 3x +1`
