Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that has the given slope m and passes through the given point. m = 5, (1, −4)

Question

How to solve an algebra word problem?

Answer 1

Answer 2

5= (y+4)/(x-5)

y= 5x -25 -4

y =5x -29 in slope intercept form,

slope =5 = the coefficient of the x term when the equation is solved for y

the constant term = the y intercept =-29 or the point (0,-29)

check the answer

plug the point into the equation

-4 = 5(5) -29

-4 = 25-29

-4 = -4
