Question

Write the slope – intercept form of the line with the given slope and point.

m = 2, point (2, 5)

Answer 1

y = 2x+1

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c

where m is the slope, and c is the y-intercept.

Let's apply the point-slope form,

that is:
`\frac{y-y{__1}}{x-x{__1}}} = m`

Given
`({x__1},{y__1}) = (2,5)` and
`m = 2`

Let plug in all these values into the point-slope form.

`(y-5)/(x-2)} = 2`

y-5 = 2x-4

y = 2x-4+5

y = 2x+1
