y = 5x - 15
Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"point-slope form"# is
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y-b=m(x-a))color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where m represents the slope and (a ,b) a point on the line.here m = 5 and (a ,b) = (3 ,0)
Substitute these values into the equation and simplify.
y - 0 = 5 (x - 3) → y = 5x - 15
Thus
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=5x-15)color(white)(a/a)|)))# is the equation
