Question

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form y=mx + b that would have the slope of two and crosses through the ordered pair (-3,5).

Answer 1

y=2x+11

Explanation:

Slope is 2

y=2x+b

plug in (-3,5)

5=-6+b

b=11

y=2x+11

Answer 2

y = 2x+11

Explanation:

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We know the slope is 2

y =2x+b

We have a point (-3,5)

Substitute this into the equation

5 = 2(-3)+b

5 = -6+b

Add 6 to each side

5+6 = b

11 =b

The equation is

y = 2x+11
