Question

Write the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line. m = 7, point (-2, 0)

Answer 1

use

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where in this case

m = 7
x1 = -2
y1 = 0

plug that info into the equation, then solve for y if necessary

Answer 2

y = 2x + 6

Answer 3

y = 2x + 6 has a slope of ____

Answer 4

i dont know:(

Answer 5

y = mx+b has a slope of m right?

Answer 6

yeah:(

Answer 7

y = 2x+6

what is the value of m?

Answer 8

8

Answer 9

i added the 2 and 6

Answer 10

y = mx+b
y = 2x+6

notice how the m and the 2 match up

so m = 2

Answer 11

oh.... makes sense

Answer 12

thank you !!!!!

Answer 13

so y = 2x + 6 has a slope of 2, NOT 7

that's why y = 2x+6 cannot be the answer
