Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 17 and passing through the point (0,0)

Answer 1

ABOUT POINT SLOPE FORM:

• y - Y1 = m (x - X1)
• m is the slope
• Y1 & X1 is a point on the line
• The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line

ABOUT PROBLEM:

• Since the slope is 17, it represents m in Poin Slope Form
• 0 represents Y1
• 0 represents X1

y - Y1 = m (x - X1)

y - 0 = 17 (x - 0) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM

Hope this helps you!!! :)

Answer 2

Answer: y = 17x

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the equation that will be used is: y = mx + b,in which m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Solve for b:

0 = 17(0) + b

Simplify:

0 = 0 + b

b = 0

Equation: y = 17(x)
