Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the point and has the indicated slope m. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.)
(5, 2); m = −1

Answer 1

Use y = mx + b, the slope and y-intercept form of a line.

In put x = 5, y = 2, and m = -1 into the equation, then solve for b

Then re-write y = mx + b, but only include the values m and b.

Answer 2

so thats 2=5x+b

Answer 3

then do you solve for b?
