What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,6) and has a slope of 2 ?

y = 2x - 4

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 (5, 6) into the partial equation

6 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 10 = - 4

y = 2x - 4 ← equation of line

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
