Question

find the general equation of each line; write equation in the form Ax+By=C
slope=2; containing the point (-4, 1)

Answer 1

Use y = m(x - a) + b (m= slope, (a,b) is given point)

Answer 2

Slope is always the number in front of x in y= mx + b formula.

y = 2x + b

Plug in your x, y points to find b, the y-intercept.

1 = 2(-4) + b

b = 9

y = 2x +9

Answer 3

how would i put that in Ax+By=C form?

Answer 4

move 2x over to the other side:

y - 2x = 9

Answer 5

-2x + y = 9

if you want x and y in that order
