Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 4 that contains the point (5, 8).
Group of answer choices

y=4x+28

y=4x-12

y=4x-27

y=4x+8

Answer 1

Answer: y = 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding equation of line given the slope and a point is given as :

$y -y_{1}$ = m ( $x -x_{1}$ )

m = 4

$x_{1}$= 5

$y_{1}$= 8

substituting into the formula , we have :

y - 8 = 4 (x - 5 )

y - 8 = 4x - 20

y = 4x - 20 + 8

y = 4x - 12
