Question

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of 1 and passes through the point (-1,-5)

Answer 1

Answer is y = 1x -4

Step by step

Use point slope form

(y -y1) = m (x -x1)

y - (-5) = 1 ( x - (-1) )

y + 5 = 1x + 1

Subtract 5 from both sides

y + 5 -5 = 1x + 1 -5

y = 1x -4

y = 1x -4
