Question

The slope is 3 and the line passes through point (5, 17).

Answer 1

`\sf y=3x+2`

Explanation:

Point-slope form of linear equation:
`\sf y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

(where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line)

Given:

• slope (m) = 3
• point (x₁, y₁) = (5, 17)

Substituting given values into the equation to find the equation of the line:

`\implies \sf y-17=3(x-5)`

`\implies \sf y-17=3x-15`

`\implies \sf y=3x+2`
