Question

What is the equation of a line contains the point (5,7) and had a slope of 2?

Answer 1

y = 2x - 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line when a point (5, 7) and slope (2) is given will be calculated as,

y - 7 = 2 (x -5)

y - 7 = 2x - 10

y = 2x - 10 + 7

y = 2x - 3

Answer 2

y = 2x - 3

Explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

We know the slope is 2

Y-intercept is located at (0, -3)

So, our equation is y = 2x - 3
