Question

The slope is 3 and the line passes through point (5,17). Write a linear equation.

Answer 1

Point - Slope: (y - 17) = 3(x - 5)

Slope - Intercept: y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

I'll write two ways:

Point - Slope: (y - 17) = 3(x - 5)

Slope - Intercept: y = 3x + b

17 = 15 + b

b = 2

y = 3x + 2
