Question

using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through (–3, 2) and has a slope of 5.

Answer 1

Answer: $y - 2 = 5 ( x + 3 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding equation of line in point - slope form is given as :

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

$x_{1} = -3$

$y_{1} = 2$

$m = 5$

substituting into the formula , we have

$y - 2 = 5 ( x - (-3) )$

$y - 2 = 5 ( x + 3 )$
