Question

Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−11,−11) with slope 5.

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

We use th point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) (where m = slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line).

So, here we have:

y - (-11) = 5 (x - (-11))

y + 11 = 5(x + 11)

y + 11 = 5x + 55

y = 5x + 55 - 11

y = 5x + 44.
