Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,-3) and has a slope of 5.

Answer 1

Answer: y=5x+7

Explanation:

Since we are given the slope, all we have to do is plug in the given point and solve for the y-intercept.

-3=5(-2)+b [multiply]

-3=-10+b [add both sides by 10]

b=7

Now, we know the equation is y=5x+7.
