Find the equation of a straight line passing throught the point listed and having the given gradient. Express your answer in the
Igoryamba
First let's try to find the equation in this form : <span>y = mx + c 

The gradient is given 3 . In a line's equation, x's coefficient represents the line's gradient.

So equation of a line with the gradient of 3, would look like this ;

</span>y= 3x + c
<span>
Now a point that the line passes through is given, (1, 2) 

This point's x-coordinate is 1 and y-coordinate is 2.

So we'll plug its x-coordinate value in the equation and also y-coordinate value. So we can solve it.

As you know, </span>x=1 and y=2

y = 3x + c

2\quad =\quad 3\cdot 1+c\\ \\ 2\quad =\quad 3+c\\ \\ 2-3\quad =\quad c\\ \\ -1\quad =\quad c

We found c = -1 

Also in a line's equation, c is constant and it represents the line's y-intercept

So let's build the line's equation.

m=3 and c=-1

y= mx + c

y= 3x -1

We found the line's equation in this form, y= mx + c

Now let's turn it into this form, ax + by + c = 0

y\quad =\quad 3x-1\\ \\ y-3x\quad =\quad -1\\ \\ y-3x+1\quad =\quad 0\\ \\ -3x+y+1\quad =\quad 0

Final answers,

\boxed { y\quad =\quad 3x-1 }

and 

\boxed { -3x+y+1\quad =\quad 0 }

I hope this was clear enough :)
