<PRE><B>Question 124768</B>
Write the equation in either slope-intercept form or standard form:

The line with the slope m=5, passing through the point (-12,0)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Let&#39;s use slope-intercept form:
{{{y=mx+b}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

You know the slope is 5, so add that in your equation:
{{{y=5x+b}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Now you need to find the y-intercept, which is reprented by b. To do so, plug in the values from the coordinate given:
{{{0=5(-12)+b}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Multiply:
{{{0=-60+b}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Add 60 to both sides:
{{{60=b}}}
So now you have your y-intercept.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

So, your equation is:
{{{y=5x+60}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

You can check by plugging in the values in the coordinate:
{{{0=5(-12)+60}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Multiply:
{{{0=-60+60}}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Add:
{{{0=0}}}</PRE>
