Question

Identify the equation of a line that has a slope of 5/2 , and passes through the point (0,4).

Answer 1

5/2

Explanation:

0,4

5,2+

------ 5,6

5,6 0,4-

-------

5,2

Answer 2

The answer is

`\huge y = (5)/(2) x + 4`

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have

`y - 4 = (5)/(2) (x - 0) \\ y - 4 = (5)/(2) x`

We have the final answer as

`y = (5)/(2) x + 4 \\`

Hope this helps you
