Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 6) and has a slope of 3?

Answer 1

Start with the point slope formula: point (h,k), slope m
\[y-k = m(x-h)\]

Answer 2

in your case the point (h,k) = (1,6)

Answer 3

and the slope m = 3

Answer 4

y-6=3(1-k)

Answer 5

Close! but you mixed up the m(x-h) part.

Answer 6

you got the m plugged in right, but not the h, and you lost your x

Answer 7

The way i was taught was y- y1=m(x-x1

Answer 8

y-6=3(x-1)

Answer 9

Yes, that's right. I just call y1 k, and x1 h cause some people find that less confusing.

Answer 10

y-6=3x-3 Distributed

Answer 11

Yep. Then add 6 to both sides.

Answer 12

y-6=3x-3
+6 +6
y=3x-3

Answer 13

y= 3x-3

Answer 14

mixed up the sign. it should be y = 3x + 3

Answer 15

I have another question im having trouble with

Answer 16

x - 3 > -9 and 3x 15

Answer 17

3x <= 15

Answer 18

Ok first one first.

Answer 19

add 3 to both sides of the inequality.

Answer 20

x >-6

Answer 21

3x <= 15

3 3

x <= 5

Answer 22

x <= 5

Answer 23

Right

Answer 24

On a number line which way would they travel and open circle or close circles?
