Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,6) and has a slope of 2 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 6) into the partial equation

6 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 10 = - 4

y = 2x - 4 ← equation of line
