Question

Write an equation for a line with a slope of 2, through (4,-2) in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be -2x + y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, start with point-slope form and input the known values.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 2(x - 4)

Now distribute and solve for the constant.

y + 2 = 2(x - 4)

y + 2 = 2x - 8

-2x + y + 2 = -8

-2x + y = -10
