Question

A line includes the point (7,5)has a slope of 1.What is its equation in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Given:

Point( 7, 5)

x = 7 and y=5

slope(m) = 1

We need to first find the intercept.

Substitute x=7, y=5 and m=1 into y=mx + b and solve for intercept(b)

5 = 1(7) + b

5 = 7 + b

5 - 7 = b

-2 = b

Now, form the equation by substituting the value of the slope and intercept into y=mx + b

y = x - 2
