Question

Write an equation of the given line that passes through the given point and has the given slope m

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b

Plug in the slope, x, and y, then solve for b:

y = mx + b

1 = 2(5) + b

1 = 10 + b

-9 = b

Then, plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b

y = mx + b

y = 2x - 9

So, the equation of the line is y = 2x - 9

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b, m=2

y=2x+b, using point (5,1)

1=2(5)+b

b=-9

y=2x-9
