Question

What is the point-slope form of an equation passing through (0, -5) with a 5 points

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$x_{1}=0, y_{1}=-5$, and m=2

$y-(-5)=2(x-0)$, -(-5)-Two negatives make it positive, and you distribute the 2

$y+5=2x$, you now subtract 5 to get y by itself to get your answer of

$y=2x-5$

*NOTE* (0,-5) is the y-intercept, so you could have used the linear equation of y=mx+b, m=2, and b(y-intercept)=-5

giving you y=2x-5
