Point slope form is used when we have the information of at least two coordinates that lie on the line

For example:

Given that coordinate (3, 4) and (6, 7) lies on a straight line. 

We work out the equation of the line by substituting the two coordinates into the formula (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) could be either (3, 4) and (6, 7).

We would need to use both coordinates to work out the gradient (m) by using the formula:
m= \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The slope intercept form is used when we are given enough information to work out the gradient as well as the y-intercept. 

For example:
Given two coordinates (3, 5) and (0, 9)
This information can help to find the gradient and the y-intercept.
The y-intercept would be at 9 because the (0, 9)
We calculate the gradient m
Then substitute into y=mx+c which is the slope intercept form.

aniked [119]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{8 + 12j}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{2(4 + 6j)}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

\longrightarrow{ \sf{2 \times 4  + 2 \times 6j}}

\longrightarrow{ \sf{8  + 12j}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
