A line has a gradient of 8 and passes through (2, 3). What is the line's equation?
With the provided information, we can write the equation of the line in point-slope form:
<u>Where</u>
y₁ = the y-coordinate of the point
m = gradient or slope
x₁ = the x-coordinate of the point
Substitute the values:-
We have our equation in point-slope form.
If you need the equation in slope-intercept form, please consult the following steps.
Use the distributive property and multiply 8 times x and -2:-
Now, add 3 on both sides:-
<h3>Good luck.</h3>
