In need an equation and graph for the line that has slope 4 and passes through (-2,5). I need to write the equation in the form Ax + By = C
------------------
Form: y = mx + b
You are told that m = 4 and that y = 5 when x = -2.
So, solve for "b".
---------------------------
5 = 4*-2 + b
b = 13
-------
Equation:
y = 4x + 13
