What is the equation of the line with slope m=12 that passes through (5,3)?

1 Answer

The equation of the line is y=12x+112

Explanation:

As you know, equation of a line can be presented by y=mx+c (slope-intercept form). our slope (m)=12 so we will have to find c (the y-intercept). The rest is shown above.

y=3 , x=5 and m=12 We then substitute what we were given into our equation:

3=(12)5+c We work out what we have

3=(52)+c Add(52) to both sides which gives us c=112, therefore equation of the line is y=12x+112
