Question

NEED HELP!!!
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (4,2)

Answer 1

y-2=2(x-4) simplify it

Answer 2

Where did you get y-2?

Answer 3

So far I have 2x-8

Answer 4

point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
the point is (x1,y1) and m is the slope

Answer 5

the one i wrote is the standard form..

Answer 6

standard form of a line is ax+by=c

Answer 7

there are many forms of line, dear @insanitycat

Answer 8

How would I solve y-2=2x-8 ?

Answer 9

yes but there are names for each
slope intercept y=mx+b
point-slope : y-y1=m(x-x1)
and standard:ax+by=c

Answer 10

you would add 2 to both sides and then you have your line

Answer 11

that would be your equation

Answer 12

Actually all I am looking for is the equation in slope-intercept

Answer 13

So what would the equation be?

Answer 14

y=2x-6 <---this is slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Answer 15

Thanks that is what I got .
Now do I simplify it? to y=x-3?

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

since for that you would have to divide the entire equation by 2 and you would have y/2=x-3
