Question

A line passes through the point (-2,7) and has a slope of 5/2 Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y=5/2x+12 or y=2.5x+12

Explanation:

Since m=5/2, we have y=2.5x+b

Now, we plug the coordinate into that equation.

7=2.5(-2)+b

7=-5+b

12=b

Now we have our equation

y=5/2x+12 or y=2.5x+12
