You can put this solution on YOUR website! The line has a slope of 6 and contains (-3,5).
Write an equation of the line described. graph the line and show your work.
:
Use point slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where
m=6
x1=-3
y1=5
:
y - 5 = 6(x -(-3))
y - 5 = 6(x + 3)
y - 5 = 6x + 18
y = 6x + 18 + 5
y = 6x + 23, is the equation
:
Graph it, using these two points
let x = -3, then
y = 6(-3) + 23
y = -18 + 23
y = 5
and
x = +1
y = 6(1) + 23
y = 29
:
Two points, -3, 5 and +1, +29
