Question

Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 14 and passes through the point (-3, 12)

Answer 1

Answer:y = 14x + 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The slope of the given line is 14 and it passes through the point (-3, 12)

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 14, x = -3 and y = 12 into y = mx + c. It becomes

12 = 14 × -3 + c = -42 + c

c = 12 + 42 = 54

The equation becomes

y = 14x + 52
