Asked by Point Slopes
A line passes through the points (1, 5) and (-2, -4). What is the sum of twice the slope and the y-intercept of the line?
I got y=3x+2 and the answer is 10

slope: (-4-5)/(-2-1) = -9/-3 = 3
Now, using the point-slope form,
y-5 = 3(x-1)
at x=0, y=2
2*3+2 = 8
2(3+2) = 10
You took twice the sum of the slope and the intercept, but that was not the question.
