Question

What is the equation of a line that has slope 3 and passes through the point (-2,-5)

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1) is the general equation for point slope.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 3x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

So here we have:

y - -5 = 3(x - -2)

y + 5 = 3(x + 2)

y + 5 = 3x + 6

y = 3x + 6 - 5

y = 3x + 1.
