Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the given slope and point: slope = 3 and (1, -2).

Answer 1

The equation form is y=ax+b.

Answer 2

use the formula \[y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\]
y1 is the y coordinate
x1 is the x coordinate
and m is the slope

just substitute into the formula. it's very straightforward

Answer 3

y-(-2)=3(x-1)

Answer 4

y+2=3x-3

Answer 5

y=3x-3-2

Answer 6

y=3x-5

Answer 7

oh okay, I understand. so what I had to do was plug the numbers in.

Answer 8

Yes, just plug the numbers.

Answer 9

thank you!
