Question

A slope of 5 and through the point (-3,-8)

Answer 1

The equation of the line is y = 5x + 7

Explanation:

Since we have the slope, we can use it and either point in point-slope form and solve for the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -8 = 5(x - -3)

y + 8 = 5(x + 3)

y + 8 = 5x + 15

y = 5x + 7
