Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (–1, 5) with a slope of 2 in standard form.

Answer 1

I love it.

Answer 2

Standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C

Point at (-1, 5), m=2

Step 1. Write the equation in Slope-Intercept form.
y=mx+b

5=2(-1)+b

Step 2. Solve for b
5=-2+b
7=b

Now you have y=2x+7 (Slope intercept form)

Step 3. Convert Slope Intercept to Standard Form
y=mx+b
Ax+By=C

y=2x+7
-2x+y=7

Answer 3

I hope you understand the concept ^^
