Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-2, 6) and has a slope of 4.

A. y - 2 = 4(x + 6)

B. y + 6 = 4(x - 2)

C. y + 2 = 4(x - 6)

D. y - 6 = 4(x + 2)

Answer 1

HINT: Rewrite each one in the form: y = mx + b

Answer 2

Then, you can use process of elimination like this: find which one has slope 4. If there are two or more that have m = 4, then try plugging in (-2,6) into the equations and seeing if LHS = RHS

Answer 3

There is no need of rewriting all the equations..

Answer 4

you can just substitute (-2,6) to the equations. :)

Answer 5

the ansewr is d rite

Answer 6

You have m = 4 \((x_1, y_1) = (-2, 6)\)

use the following equation here:

\[\large \color{green}{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}\]

Put all the values and find the equation..

Answer 7

@marktierra that is great.

Answer 8

Just plug in the point and see if LHS = RHS. By process of elimination, you will find one that is correct

Answer 9

Yes you are right..
