Question

Enter an equation in point-slope form

The slope of the line is 2/5, and it contains the point: (−2, 7).

Answer 1

y = 2/5x + 39/5

Explanation:

point slope form is y = mx + b

so far we have y = 2/5x + b

m is slope which is given. We need to find b which is y-intercept.

They give us the point (-2,7). We can plug this into the equation to find b.

7 = 2/5(-2) + b

7 = -4/5 + b

b = 39/5

The equation now looks like y = 2/5x + 39/5
