Question

Write the equation of the line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (-5, 1).

y = 2x - 5

y = 2x + 11

y = 2x + 1

y = 2x + 9

Answer 1

Explanation:

= 2x +b

Use the given point (2, 5)

5 = 2(2) +b

b = 5 -4 = 1

The equation of the line is

y = 2x +1

Note general form of the slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept
