You can put this solution on YOUR website! Will you please write the equation of the line that passes through point (-4,-17) with a slope of 3.
----------
The form of the equation is y= mx+b
You are told m=3
You have a value for x, for y, and for m, so you can solve for b, as follows:
17=3(-4)+b
b=17+12
b=29
EQUATION is y=3x+29
