Find an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has slope 2 and passes through point A(-8, 7)

y = 2x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 8, 7) into the partial equation

7 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = 7 + 16 = 23

y = 2x + 23 ← equation of line

y=mx+c

y=2x+c

Y intercept(c) 23 - to find y we have to input the values

7=2*-8+c

7=-16+c

23=c
