Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through point (5,6) and has a slope of 2. A) y = 10 + b B) y = 2x - 4 C) y = 2x + 4 D) y = -5x + 2

Answer 1

y= 2x-4

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form of a line

y = mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

6 = 2(5) +b

6 = 10+b

Subtract 10 from each side

6-10 = 10-10+b

-4 =b

y= 2x-4
