Choose the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (2, 4) and has a slope of 3.

y - 4 = 3(x - 2)

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

y + 4 = 3(x + 2)

y + 2 = 3(x + 4)

Y-4=3(x-2)

anonymous · Answer

Thank you, can you explain to me how you got that?

zale101 · Answer

do u know what formula @Katherine97 used>

anonymous · Answer

Y= Mx + B I think

zale101 · Answer

no

zale101 · Answer

y-y1=m(x-x1)
what's this formula called?

zale101 · Answer

m= slope
(x1,y1) =point given

anonymous · Answer

I have no clue what that is called :( Could you explain it to me?

zale101 · Answer

It is called "point-slope form".

anonymous · Answer

Yes :) If I need help once more, may I tag you, math is difficult for me, but I try lol

zale101 · Answer

the answer should be like this
y-4=3(x-2)
y-4=3x-6 distribute 
y=3x-6+4
y=3x-2

ok, sure u can :-)
