Question

a line that includes the point (3,4) has a slope of 2. what is the equation in the slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is y/x

the slope is 2 or 2/1

subtract 2 from the y value and 1 from the x value

(3-1,4-2) = (2,2)

keep doing this until you get a 0 in the x value

(2-1,2-2) = (1,0)

1 is your x-intercept

(1-1,0-2) = (0,-2)

-2 is your y intercept.

So now you know your y-intercept and your slope so you can now write your equation.

y=mx+b

m=slope, b=y-intercept

m=2, b=-2

substitute into the equation

y=2x-2
