Question

anonymous · Answer

Answer Choices: 
x – 2y = 6
x + 2y = 6
2x – y = –6
2x + y = –6

anonymous · Answer

I only have 1 set of numbers though ??

anonymous · Answer

Use point-slope formula:
$$
y-y_0=m(x-x_0)
$$We know $m=2$, so plug in the point.

I tried that but my answer doesn't match up with any of the answer choices ?? I got y=2x+15 What am i doing wrong??

anonymous · Answer

Wait... is it 2x-y=-6

anonymous · Answer

Here:
$$\begin{align}
y-4&=2(x+1)\
y-4&=2x+2\
y&=2x+6\
y-2x&=6
\end{align}
$$
