Question

write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope: (1,3); m = 5
y = 5x - 2
y = 5x + 2
y = 5x - 8
y = 5x + 8

Explanation:

Step1: Use point-slope form

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Step2: Substitute given values

$y - 3 = 5(x - 1)$

Step3: Simplify to slope-intercept form

$y - 3 = 5x - 5$
$y = 5x - 5 + 3$
$y = 5x - 2$

Answer:

A. $y = 5x - 2$
