Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (8, 1) with slope 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x - 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing the point (8,1) and a slope, we can write the equation in point slope form.

y - 1 = 5( x - 8)

The we can solve for y, making it in slope intercept form

y - 1 = 5x - 40

y = 5x - 39
