Q. What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−2,−5) and has a slope of 5 ?Answer:
Identify Equation Form: Identify the slope-intercept form of a line's equation.The slope-intercept form of a line's equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Find Y-Intercept: Use the given slope and point to find the y-intercept b. We are given the slope m as 5 and a point on the line (−2,−5). We can substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to find b. −5=5∗(−2)+b−5=−10+bb=−5+10b=5
Write Line Equation: Write the equation of the line using the slope and y-intercept.Now that we have the slope m=5 and the y-intercept b=5, we can write the equation of the line.y=5x+5
