Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line (y=Mx+b) through the given point:

Answer 1

Answer:

         y = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$M=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{2-0}{-2-(-3)}=\dfrac21=2$

y = 2x + b  passes through point (-3, 0), so:

0 = 2(-3) + b

0 = -6 + b

b = 6

Therefore the equation:  y = 2x + 6
