Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. point: (4,2) and m=3 *

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2 = 3 (x - 4) - Point-Slope form.

y = 3x - 10 - Slope-intercept form.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve by using the formula:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Substitute:

y - 2 = 3 (x - 4)

This is the answer written in point-slope form.

I will put it into slope-intercept form.

Distribute:

y - 2 = 3x - 12

add 2 to both sides:

y = 3x - 10

Point (4 , 2) with a slope of 3 as an equation written in slope-intercept form looks like:

y = 3x - 10
