Question

Which choice is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 19) and has a slope of

m=12 and is written in slope–intercept form?

Answer 1

The equation is;

y = 12x-41

Explanation:

Mathematically;

slope intercept form is;

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is intercept

Since we already have the slope , the equation is;

y = 12x + b

To get b which is the y intercept, we simply substitute the value of the points given

Thus;

19 = 5(12) + b

19 = 60+ b

b = 19-60

b = -41

So the equation is;

y = 12x - 41
