Question

Write the equation of a line that includes the point (22, 12) and

Answer 1

Let's start with y = 4x + b (since 4 is the slope);

We need to find what number should be put instead of b;

Then, let's see what needs to be done;

Plug in the y and x values from the coordinate (22,12) into y=4x+b;

12 = 4(22) + b

Solve;

12 = 88 + b

12 - 88 = b

b = -76

Remember the equation y = 4x + b? Put the -76 instead of b:

y = 4x + -76

or: y = 4x - 76

That is the equation.

To make it standard form, put x and y both in the left side, with x first then y:

-4x + y = -76
