Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form for the given conditions.
slope =5 and passes through (-4,2)

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept

Answer 2

so y=5x+b to start?

Answer 3

We know that the slope is 5 its a given
y=5x+b
Now we need to plug in the given numbers
(coordinates)
2=5(-4)+b
from here solve for b

Answer 4

its gone

Answer 5

@tw101 can you solve for b please?

Answer 6

okay, so it would be y=5x+22. Sorry my computer froze

Answer 7

Correct :)

Answer 8

so thats it?

Answer 9

Yea it asks for slope intercept form and thats what we have :)

Answer 10

More importantly, do you understand?
