Question

Write an equation for the line that has a slope of 6 and passes through the point 4, 4

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 6x - 20

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 = 6, thus

y = 6x + c ← is the partial equation

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

4 = 24 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 24 = - 20

y = 6x - 20 ← equation of line
