Question 68882
+The are an infinite number of lines and also higher degree equations
(involving {{{x^2}}},{{{x^3}}}.etc.) that pass through a single point like (-5,0)
This is how you can find one of them:
Let's call the line {{{y = 3x + b}}} where b is any number
now substitute x & y
{{{0 = 3*(-5) + b}}}
{{{b = 15}}}
so, your equation passing through (-5,0) is
{{{y = 3x + 15}}} answer (you could have piicked any value besides 3 and then
solved for b)
