Question

A line has a slope of 2 and passes through the point ( -1, 3). Write an equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is written as: y=mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Taking point (-1,3) , m= 2 and imaginary point on the line, (x,y) then ;

m=change is y-coordinates/change in x-coordinate

m=Δy/Δx

m=y-3/x--1

2= y-3 / x+1

2(x+1) = y-3

2x +2 =y-3

2x=y-3-2

2x=y-5

y=2x+5 is the equation.
