Question

Which of the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point (-1,5)

Answer 1

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have the slope m = 3 and the point (-1, 5). Substitute:

$y-5=3(x-(-1))$

$\boxed{y-5=3(x+1)}$      use distributive property

$y-5=3x+3$           add 5 to both sides

$\boxed{y=3x+8}$ - slope-intercept form
