Question

What is the equation in point-slope form and slope intercept form of the line given slope 5, (-2, 8)?

Answer 1

You can use the relationship: `y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`
Where:
`m=5` is the slope and `x_0, y_0` are the coordinates of your point.
So you get:

`y-8=5(x+2)` Point-Slope

and rearranging:

`y=5x+18` Slope-Intercept
