Question

What is the equation of the line with slope `m= 1/7` that passes through `(-5,18)`?

Answer 1

`y = x/7 + 131/7`

Explanation:

The line equation should be, having 1/7 as slope:
`y = x/7 + b`
Write that this line passing at point (-5, 18):
`18 = -5/7 + b.` Find b.
`b = 18 + 5/7 = 131/7`
Line equation: `y = x/7 + 131/7`
