Question

Write the equation of a line (in slope-intercept form) with a slope of 5 that passed through the point (4,2)

Answer 1

The answer to your question is y = 5x - 18

Explanation:

Data

slope = m = 5

point = (4, 2)

Process

1.- Write the equation of the point- slope

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

2.- Substitution

x1 = 4 y1 = 2

y - 2 = 5(x - 4)

3.- Simplification

y - 2 = 5x - 20

4.- Solve for y

y = 5x - 20 + 2

y = 5x - 18
