Question

Work out the equation of the line which has a gradient of 2 and passes through the point (1, 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is also called the gradient of the line.

The slope that is given is two, and the point is (1, 4).

I made a point slope equation, and then converted it into a slope-intercept equation.

$y-4=2(x-1)\\\\y-4=2x-2\\\\y-4+4=2x-2+4\\\\\boxed{y=2x+2}$

Hope this helps.
