Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 3 and contains the point (2, 5).

Question

I need the slope intercept equation.

Answer 1

First we need to use the point-slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Now to insert our values:

y - 5 = 3(x - 2)

y - 5 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 1
