This equation is written in point-slope form.

In this equation we have the point (2, 12) and the slope of 4.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Use the point (2, 12) to solve.

12 = 4(2) + b

12 = 8 + b

12 - 8 = 8 + b - 8

4 = b (y-intercept)

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Answer:

$y = 2x + 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Point Slope Form since we are given the slope and coordinates. Why is the slope 2x?

 In Depth: Parallel lines never touch so they are Lines that have same slope but different y intercept. An example is a square. A square has four parallel sides. The upper and lower sides will never touch because they are the same slope and they both have a finite distance vertically between them.

Back to the question, let use the Point Slope Form,

$y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})$

Where y1 is the y coordinate of the given point, m is the slope and x is the x coordinates of the given points.

Substitute

$y - ( - 1) = 2(x - ( - 4)$

$y + 1 = 2(x + 4)$

Simplify

$y + 1 = 2x + 8$

$y = 2x + 7$

Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.

Remark
Secants going through a circle form a ratio that's the same for all secants going through the circle and beginning at 1 point. See the diagram below for the ratio. Follow the Line designations carefully. This comes up many times.

General Ratio is (segment from the external point to the the first intersect point of the circumference divided by the distance from the external point to the second intercept point on the circumference).

General Ratio
Put in terms of the diagram the general ratio is (OA / OB)

Equation
OA/OB = OC/OD

Substitute and Solve
9/(9 + 11) = 10/(10 + x)
9/20 = 10/(10 + x) Notice that you can't combine the right side. Cross Multiply

9*(10 + x) = 10 * 20 Remove the brackets on the left. Combine the right factors.
90 + 9x = 200 Subtract 90 from both sides.
9x = 200 - 90
9x = 110 Divide by 9
110 / 9 = 12.22
