Write an equation for the line with slope 5 that passes through point (1, -2)

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Do you have a Point-Slope form of a line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused is it y=5x-3 again not sure haven't checked.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Did you use the Point-Slope Form of a Line? Show it, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used y-y1=m(x-x1) I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes y equals mx plus b I get is m is 5 y is -2 whats x and b though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Cmwalker17 Could you read @Rancd equation carefully?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rancd Watch out when you expand the parentheses!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or is it y= 5x -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):
