Question

Please help- Find the equation of the line with slope 3 that passes through (1, 8).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 5

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 = 3 , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 8 ) into the partial equation

8 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 8 - 3 = 5

y = 3x + 5 ← equation of line
