Question

Find the equation of the line with Slope = 6 and passing through (5,38). Write your equation in the form y =mx+b

Answer 1

Hi Robert; m=-6; (-5,-8) We can put this into point slope
format of y=mx+b initially. y = -6x + b Using (-5, -8) as
(×, y) solve for b -8 = -6(-5)

Answer 2

Hello.

We have:

• A point that the line passes through
• The slope of the line

Plug the values into the Point-Slope Formula:

$\mathrm{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}$

$\mathrm{y-38=6(x-5)}$

$\mathrm{y-38=6x-30}$

$\mathrm{y=6x-30+38}$

$\Large\boxed{\sf{ \ y=6x+8}}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
