Question

need help with writing an equation for this problem. m = 5, passing through P(0, 7)

Answer 1

y=5m+7

Answer 2

apply the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-7=5(x-0)
y=5x+7

Answer 3

my book sya to use point-slope form to write the equation of the line with given properties.

Answer 4

yes... that what we gave you!!

Answer 5

point-slope form:
y-7 = 5(x-0)
done :)

Answer 6

ok not to disagree with you but in the back of my book it says that it should be 5x-y= -7

Answer 7

it is the same answer but in a different form
we wrote it in slope-intercept form
while in the back of your book it is written in standard form

Answer 8

actually you wrote it in point slope form:)

Answer 9

ok then I should have asked what the genarl form was.

Answer 10

Yes and that is what I needed but in general form

Answer 11

Sorry I am very confused about this math

Answer 12

ok so can someone so me how you come up with this equation please?

Answer 13

point-slope is
y-y0 = m (x-x0) ... slope m through (x0,y0)

standard is
Ax + By = C

slope-intercept is
y = mx + b (m is slope, b is y-intercept)

You said point slope, so that's the one I gave you above:
y-7 = 5(x-0) ... slope 5 through (0,7).

OK?
