Question

Find the equation of the line whose slope is 2 and which passes through the point (-2, 4).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 4) into the partial equation

4 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 4 = 8

y = 2x + 8 ← equation of line

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where m = slope and c = y intercept

Using point ( -2 , 4) and m = 2

Equation of the line is

y - 4 = 2(x + 2)

y - 4 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 4 + 4

y = 2x + 8
