A line passes through the point (s, t) and has a slope of a. Which equation models the line?

myininaya (myininaya):

So a line has this form y=mx+b It told in your problem that m=a since the slope is a so we have y=ax+b now you know a point on this line (x=s,y=t) plug in this point and solve for b to figure out what the y-intercept is Replace y with t Replace x with s And solve for b
