Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (4, –5) with slope 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 5 = 2(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

-5 = 2(4) + b

-5 = 8 + b

subtract 8 on both sides

-13 = b

Answer 2

Answer:

y + 5 = 2(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 2

y = mx + b

-5 = 2(4) + b

-5 = 8 + b

-8    -8

------------------

-13 = b

y = 2x - 13, in other words --> y + 5 = 2(x−4)

So, y + 5 = 2(x − 4) is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -5).
