Question

Find the slope intercept form of the line whose slope is 6 and that passes through the point (-2,5)
The equation of the line is:

Answer 1

Let the equaion of the line be y=mx+c ...............(a)
m=6(Slope)
Since the line passes through (-2,5),so we can subsitute x=-2 and y=5 and get the value of c(y-intercept) in this way

Answer 2

so y=6x+5?

Answer 3

no...
y=6x+c.....(1)
since the line passes through (-2,5),so they satisfy the equation of the line...
5=6(-2)+c
5+12=c
c=17
Thus ,the equation becomes y=6x+17

Answer 4

Hope u are clear with it...any other question??
