Question 80932
Write the equation of the line that passes through point (–5, –12) with a slope of 2
The formula to attack this problem is called the point slope formula (this is not the only way to do this though.)
{{{highlight(y-y[1]=m(x-x[1]))}}}, m=slope (x1,y1)=given point
{{{y-(-12)=2(x-(-5))}}}
{{{y+12=2(x+5)}}}
{{{y+12=2x+10}}}
{{{y+12-12=2x+10-12}}}
{{{y=2x-2}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
