Question

How do you find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through (-2, -7) and has slope m=1?

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of an equation is
`(y-y_0) = m(x-x_0)`
where `m` is the slope and
`(x_0,y_0)` is a point on the equation's line.

Substituting the given values, we have
`(y+7) = (1)(x+2)`
or just
`y+7 = x+2`
