Question 621648: The slope of a line is 2 and the point (5, 8) is on the line. Express the line in slope-interceThe slope of a line is 2 and the point (5, 8) is on the line. Express the line in slope-intercept formpt form Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope of a line is 2 and the point (5, 8) is on the line.
-----------
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept
8 = 2*5 + b
b = -2
--------
y = 2x - 2
