Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the points (2,4) and has a slope of 3

Answer 1

1) the equation in point slope form is

Y-Y1 = M(X -X1) , the point (x1,y1) is given in the exercise and is ( 2,4) and m is 3

then Y -4 =3(x-2)

Answer 2

The formula for point slope is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m is your slope: 3; plug in 4 for y1 and 2 for x1

y - 4=3(x-2)
