a line passes through the point 23 and has a slope 5 Write a
a line passes through the point (-2,3) and has a slope 5. Write an equation for this line.
Solution
We have given point (x1,y1) = (-2,3) and slope m = 5.
Point-slope formula of equation of line is : (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
Now plug the values in the equation.
So it becomes , (y - 3) = 5(x - (-2))
So y - 3 = 5(x+ 2)
Simplfy this now.
y - 3 = 5x + 10
Therefore , y = 5x + 10 + 3
y = 5x + 13
This is the equation of line.
