Question

A line with a slope of 1 passes through the point (5, -3). What is its equation in

slope-intercept form?
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

y=x-8

Explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-3)=1(x-5)

y+3=x-5

y=x-5-3

y=x-8

Answer 2

y=1x-8

Explanation:

Lets do the same thing we did last time

-3=1(5)+?

-3=5+?

The y intercept is -8

CHECK:

-3=1(5)+-8

-3=5+-8

-3=-3
