Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that satisfies the following condition. slope 5 and passes through (2, 28)
Select one:
O a. y=5x - 28
O b. y = 2x - 2
O c. y= 28x + 18
O d. y = 5x + 18

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Slope-intercept form is a way to write the equation of a line, and it is very useful. It is y=mx+b. This equation shows how y is related to x on a line. The m represents the slope, which is the incline of the line. The b represents the y-intercept, or where the line hits the y-axis.

If you find any value for x and plug it into the equation, you will figure out what y-value it matches on the line. If you had the equation you could draw the line by plugging in x-values and plotting points and connecting the dots!

Anyways, we have a slope of 5. This means that so far our equation looks like y=5x+b. It does not tell us what the y-intercept is, so we need to figure it out!

If we have the values for m, x, and b, we can solve for y. Well, we don't have b, but we do have values for y, x, and m, so we should be able to solve for b!

We will plug in our point (2,28) and solve for b!

28=5(2)+b

28=10+b

b=18

Our y-intercept is 18.

So, we can write this equation in slope-intercept form for the line that follows the condition of slope 5 and passing through (2,28) below.

y=5x+18

Therefore, our answer is d. 5x+18.

Now you can find the equation of a line given the slope and a point! Have a wonderful day! :D
