Question

Write the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line. Type your answer in the box, in slope-intercept form, without skipping any spaces. m = 3, point (2, 1)

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y = 3x + b
Solve for b by plugging in (2, 1)
1 = 3(2) + b
1 = 6 + b
b = -5
y = 3x - 5

Answer 2
