Write the equation of the line that passes through (–3, 4) with a slope of 2 in point-slope form.

Question

anonymous · Answer

y-4=2(x+3)

anonymous · Answer

point slope form is:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
you plug in the slope where the m is, and the point #s in the x1 and y1 spots.

anonymous · Answer

equation of required line is  y-y1=m(x-x1)  where  (x1,y1) is your point through which line is passing, and 'm' is slope of line
              y-3=2(x-(-3))
              y-3=2x + 6
               2x-y +9=0

@prashant- you put in a 3 instead of a 4, and i think he isn't supposed to simplify, just keep it in point slope form

anonymous · Answer

its an honest mistake just make it as y-4=.......then everything is same...
thanks sunyah

yup yup of course! :)
