Question

find an approximate equation of the line that has the given slope and contains the given point. m=2.9,(3,3-5.1)

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b,\text{ for m=}2.9 \\ y=2.9x+b \end{gathered}$

For point (3.3,-5.1)

$\begin{gathered} -5.1=2.9\cdot3.3+b \\ -5.1=9.57+b \\ -5.1-9.57=b \\ b=-14.67 \end{gathered}$$y=2.9x-14.67$
