Question

Write the equation of a line that passed through the point (-2,1) and has a slope of 4

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad ~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies 4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-1=4[x-(-2)]\implies y-1=4(x+2) \\\\\\ y-1 = 4x+8\implies y=4x+9$
