Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (3, -2) and has a slope of 2. y = 2x - 8 y = 2x - 4 y = 2x + 7 y = 2x + 5

Class 11 question : call @AkashdeepDeb

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Haha LOL ^ :D Okay so here we have to find the equation of the line in the slope intercept form. The slope intercept form of a line goes like this: y = mx+ b [m is slope, b is y intercept] We are given: The line passes through (3,-2) and has slope = 2 Understood till here?

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

Yes

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

Well I think I have found the answer y = 2x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the simplest slope of 2 line function you could think of? To remind you 2 slope line increases by 2 on the y for every single step on the x

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

y = 2x + 5 Isn't entirely correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the simplest slope of 2 line function you could think of?

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

yes I have just found out that the 3 is an x woops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mistakenly double posted :| sry

OpenStudy (solidicecream):

the simplest slope of 2 line function that I could think of is well -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm...let's try some simple example. it seems dumb but still y = x first, find out y for x=0, x=1, x=2...
