Question

How do you find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the given point (-2,-7) and has the slope 1?

Answer 1

The answer is: `y = x -5`

The slope-intercept form is:

`y=mx + n`

The slope `m` is already given as `1`

Lets plug the given point in the equation:

`-7 = 1*(-2) + n`

`n = -5`

So the line equation is:

`y = x -5`
