Question

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (3, 8) with slope 4?

Answer 1

Slope intercept form:
Y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y intercept
Given the slope of 4
Y = 4x + b
Plug in the point (3,8)
8 = 4(3) + b
8 = 12 + b, b = -4
Y intercept = -4

Solution: y = 4x - 4
