Question

Find an equation for the line passing through (2,−1) with a slope of 52.

Answer 1

Explanation:

y + 1 = 52( x - 2)

y + 1 = 52x - 104

y = 52x - 105

Answer 2

Slope intercept form: y = mx + n

m = slope

b = y-intercept

We can use the point and slope to solve for the y-intercept.

-1 = 52(2) + b

-1 = 104 + b

-105 = b

Put all the values into the equation.

y = 52x - 105

Best of Luck!
