Question

The equation of the line with slope = 3, going through point (2, 4) is:

Answer 1

$(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{4}=\stackrel{m}{-3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-4=-3x+6\implies y=-3x+10$

Answer 2

Y=3x-2 the slope is 3 and it goes through (2,4)
