Question

Write the equation for the line that goes through point (-10,8) with slope m=6

Answer 1

Answer: $y = 6x + 68$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating equation of line when a point and a slope is given is :

$y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )$

$x_{1} = -10$

$y_{1} = 8$

$m = 6$

substituting into the formula , we have

$y - 8 = 6 ( x -(-10) )$

$y - 8 = 6 ( x + 10 )$

$y - 8 = 6x + 60$

$y = 6x + 60 + 8$

$y = 6x + 68$
