Thread: Slope

Please let me know if this is correct:

Find the equation of the line which satisfies the point through the point (0,5) with slope =-2

y-y1 = m(x-1)=
y-5=-2(x-1)=
y=-2x+-7

Perhaps you meant it, but it should be: .

Now, with m = -2 and the point being (0,5) we get:



The slope is clearly fine and you can easily check whether the line goes through the given point by filling it in to see if it satisfies the equation.

Thank you.

You're welcome
