Question

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

a) in slope-intercept form

b) in standard form.

Answer 1

y= 5x + 9 --> slope intercept form

5x-y= -9 --> standard form

Explanation:

To find the first equation you just have to plug in values of the equation, you plug in the y and x to the equation -1= 5(-2) + c --> -1= -10+c ---> 9=c.

To find the other equation you just flip the order, don't forget to do the opposite operation. Hope this helped.
