Question

A line has a slope of 5 and goes through the point (-7, 3). What is the equation of the line, written in point-slope form?

Answer 1

slope=7x-2

Explanation:

none

Answer 2

y = 5x + 38

Explanation:

Slope m = 5

Point (-7 , 3) = (x₁ , y₁)

Equation of line: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 3 = 5*(x - [-7])

y - 3 = 5*(x + 7)

y - 3 = 5x + 5*7

y - 3 = 5x + 35

y = 5x + 35 + 3

y = 5x + 38
