Question

What is the point-slope form of an equation passing through (0, -5) with a 5 points

slope of 2? *

Answer 1

y=2x-5

Explanation:

`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))`

`x_(1)=0, y_(1)=-5\\`, and m=2

`y-(-5)=2(x-0)`, -(-5)-Two negatives make it positive, and you distribute the 2

`y+5=2x`, you now subtract 5 to get y by itself to get your answer of

`y=2x-5`

*NOTE* (0,-5) is the y-intercept, so you could have used the linear equation of y=mx+b, m=2, and b(y-intercept)=-5

giving you y=2x-5
