Im asked to find the equation of the line which crosses the point A(1,-5) or A=(1,5). This line must have a slope equal to 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I use the second A(1,5), i got the correct answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let y=2x+c put (1,5) gives u c=3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does c mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is a const. here ur equation is y=2x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do you know what A to use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is given in the question. that it passes through (1,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I give you two points A. That is what confuses me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm also confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already found the answer. The guy that gave me the problem wrote the A twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry .
