Question

If a line has a slope of 2 and contains the point (-2, 1) what is the equation in point slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 1 = 2(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 2 and (a, b) = (- 2, 1), thus

y - 1 = 2(x - (- 2)), that is

y - 1 = 2(x + 2) ← in point- slope form
