-Slope 2 , through $( 8,7 )$
A) $y = 2 x + 9$
B) $y = 2 x - 9$
C) $x = 2 y + 9$
D) $x = 2 y - 9$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope-intercept form of a line is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given the slope $m = 2$ and a point $(8, 7)$, we can substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to find $b$. Using the point $(8, 7)$, we get $7 = 2(8) + b$, which simplifies to $7 = 16 + b$. Solving for $b$, we find $b = -9$. Therefore, the equation of the line is $y = 2x - 9$.
