Is this correct, you don’t have to look at my work just check to see if it’s correct please and thank you

Answer 1

`y = 4x + 32`.

Explanation:

Here's a solution to the problem.

Given:

Point = (-5, 12)

Slope (m) = 4

Required:

Equation of the line

SOLUTION:

Recall, the equation for slope-intercept form is
`y = mx + b`.

We are given slope (m) as 4. We need to find the value of b to derive an equation of the line.

Simply substitute x = -5, y = 12 and m = 4 into
`y = mx + b`, and solve for b.

`12 = 4(-5) + b`

`12 = -20 + b`

Add 20 to both sides

`12 + 20 = b`

`32 = b`

`b = 32`

Next, substitute m = 4 and b = 32 into
`y = mx + b`.

`y = 4x + 32`.

The line of the equation that has a slope of 4, and passes through (-5, 12) is
`y = 4x + 32`.

Obviously, your calculations are wrong. The above is the right way to solve the problem given.
