Find the equation of the line that goes through 41 with a sl
Find the equation of the line that goes through (4,-1) with a slope of 5
Find the equation of the line that goes through (4,-1) with a slope of 5
Solution
y=mx+b
where m is slope and b is y intercept
m is given to be 5
So
y=5x+b
Now to find b , lets plug in the point given
-1 = 5(4) +b
-1 = 20 +b
Subtract 20 from both sides
-21 =b
b=-21
So the equation becomes
y=5x -21
