Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that has a slope of 2 and passes through (1,-5)

Answer 1

First, using the point-slope formula, plug in the slope and the point.

y-(-5) = 2(x-1)

Then, simplify and convert to slope-intercept form.

y+5 = 2x- 2 Using the distributive method

y+5 -5 = 2x - 2 -5 Do same to both sides

y = 2x -7
