which is the slope intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (0,-5) with slope 2?

Solution

point slope form of an equation for the line that passes through (a,b) with slope m

is y-b =m(x-a)

given slope m=2 , passing through (a,b)=(0,-5)

y-(-5)=2(x-0)

y+5=2x

y=2x-5

slope intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (0,-5) with slope 2 is y=2x-5
