Question

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and containing the point (1,4) in y=mx+b format.
Please Help!

Answer 1

the slope is m
can you write the equation now, then i will help u with the next step

Answer 2

So, it'd be y=2x + 1/4 ?.. i think
All i need to know is the equation.

Answer 3

y = 2x + b; now you will have to solve for b using the point (1,4)

can you substitute x and y in the equation

Answer 4

@JessNicole u there

Answer 5

Yess, but your not understanding, It doesn't need solving. Slope=2, and the point (1,4) , these are the answers. So you'd graph (0,2) and (1,4) But they wanna know What is the equation for all this. :/

Answer 6

thats what you will know when you solve for b

you have the point (1,4) what is x and y in that point?

Answer 7

I'm sorry, I really suck at math!!!:(
So i should i substitue x for 1 and y for 4 ??

Answer 8

y = 2*x + b correct

now you have the point (1,4)

4 = 2*1 + b ----solve for b
-2 -2
2 = b

now you get the equation

y = 2x + 2

Answer 9

Ohh Okayy, THANK YOU!!!!! so much, i appreciate it:)
