Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (0,3) and whose slope is 2

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h), with h = 0, k = 3 and m = 2:

y - 3 = 2(x - 0), or

y - 3 = 2x, or

y - 2x = 3

Note that the given point, (0, 3), is the y-intercept of this line, and so we immediately know b in y = mx + b:  it is 3.
