Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions. Write the answer in slope-intercept form.

Question

The line passes through the point (-9,-16) and has a slope of 2. 

Answer 1

Use the point-slope form:

m(x - x₁) = y - y₁

2(x - (-9)) = y - (-16)              substitute values

2(x + 9) = y + 16                   simplify

2x + 18 = y + 16                    distribute

2x + 2 = y                              subtract 16 from both sides
