Question

Which is the equation of the line with slope 5 that contains point (-2, -3)


A. y + 2 = 5(x – 3) B. y + 3 = 5(x + 2) C. y – 3 = 5(x – 2) D. y – 2 = 5(x – 3)

Answer 1

The answer is y = 5x + 7
here's how you get it:

Start with the base   y = mx + b
then imput the points and the slope:
-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

Then solve for b
-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b
-3 = -10 + b
-b = -7
b = 7

so the equation is:

y = 5x + 7

Answer 2

The answer is y = 5x + 7

here's how you get it:

Start with the base   y = mx + b

then imput the points and the slope:

-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

Then solve for b

-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

-3 = -10 + b

-b = -7

b = 7

so the equation is:

y = 5x + 7
