Question

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point

m=4,(6,2)

katrinakaif · Answer

SAME AS BEFORE! :)
Plug it into the equation 
(y - y1) = m (x -x1) 

M being the slope and with your ordered pair (0,7) as (x1, y1)

katrinakaif · Answer

But this time your ordered pair is (6 2)

anonymous · Answer

The ordered pair is (6,2) this time though, Otherwise the process is the same

anonymous · Answer

Tried it, cant figure it out. This one seems more complicated

katrinakaif · Answer

Okay
So first you know the slope is 4 (m) 
(y -y1) = 4( x - x1)

Now plug in the ordered pairs (6, 2) as (x1,y1)

Gives us the euqation:
(y - 2) = 4( x -6) 
Now can you solve?

anonymous · Answer

next step would be to distribute the 4. Try that and let us know what you get.

anonymous · Answer

Distribute the four? How do I do that?

anonymous · Answer

$$a(b - c) = a(b) - a(c)$$

anonymous · Answer

so in this case:
a is 4
b is x
c is 6
