Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with slope 5 and y-intercept 7

Answer 1

generally, it is y = mx + b.

 

I am not sure if it is right to just give the specific answer.

 

Take a line with slope 3 and y-intercept 1.  This line would have b=1 and m=3, so the specific equation is y = 3x + 1.

 

So it is pretty easy.

 

Also you might want to graph it your line with slope 5 and y-intercept 7:

 

start at the point x=0 and y = 7, then go right 1 and up 5, or right 2 and up 10, or right 3 and up 15, etc.
