Question

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of `3` and goes through `(2,5)`?

Answer 1

`y = 3x - 1`

Explanation:

`"equation of a line when the slope is m and it passes through (a, b):"`

`y - b = m(x - a)`

`"in your case m = 3 and (a, b) is (2, 5):"`

`y - 5 = 3(x - 2)`
`y = 3x - 1`
