Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,3) and has a slope of 1?

Answer 1

Answer (assuming it can be in point-slope form):

$y-3 = 1(x-4)$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line. Substitute real values for $m$, $x_1$, and $y_1$ in the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute 1 in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (4,3) in its place. Substitute 4 for $x_1$ and 3 for $y_1$. This gives the following equation and answer in point-slope form:

$y-3 = 1(x-4)$
