What is the equation for the line that passes through the point (-2,2) and has a slope of 5?
a. y = 5x + 2
highlight%28b%29. y = 5x + 12
c. y = 5x - 2
d. none of these
You can find the equation of a line when give a point and a slope using the point slope formula: highlight%28y-y1=m%28x-x1%29%29, where m=slope and (x1,y1)=given point.
m=5 and (x1,y1)=(-2,2)
y-2=5(x-(-2))
y-2=5(x+2)
y-2=5x+10
y-2+2=5x+10+2
highlight%28y=5x%2B12%29 b.
Happy Calculating!!!!
