Use slope-intercept form to write an equation of a line passing through the given point and having the given slope. Express the answer in standard form.

Question

P(−2, 1); m = 1

Answer 1

since you have a point and a slope, start with the point-slope form. That way you don;t have to solve for m and b.

y-1 = 1(x+2)
y = x+3
