Question

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 7 and a point (1, 8) on the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=7x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem we have

$m=7$

$point(1,8)$

substitute and solve for b

$8=7(1)+b$

$8=7+b$

$b=8-7=1$

The equation of the line is equal to

$y=7x+1$
