A line with a slope of 2 passes through the point (5, 7) What is its equation in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y=mx + b is the general form of a linear equation with slope m and intercept b

y=2x + b when m=2

plug in the point to solve for b

7 =2(5) + b

b = 7-10 =-3

y=2x-3 is the line with slope 2 and intercept -3 through the point (5,7)
