Question

beccaboo333 · Answer

A. y - 4 = 2(x + 3) 	
	B. y + 4 = 2(x - 3) 	
	C. y + 3 = 2(x - 4) 	
	D. y - 3 = 2(x + 4)

anonymous · Answer

the equation of a line is:
y=mx +b
M = slope
your ordered pairs are (x,y)
plug your values in the formula and there you have it.

I don't understand it like i had said to ganeshie8 before.. this stuff is still pretty confusing

beccaboo333 · Answer

help please?

ganeshie8 · Answer

point slope form :-

$\large   y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) $

ganeshie8 · Answer

you need to memorize above equation for line for the rest of time of ur course in Algebra :)

ganeshie8 · Answer

we're given :-
point (-3,  4)
           $x_1$ $y_1$

ganeshie8 · Answer

ALso, we're given slope = $m$ = 2

ganeshie8 · Answer

plug them in above equation for line,
wat do u get ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

$\large   y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

$\large   y - 4  = 2(x- - 3)$

$\large   y - 4  = 2(x +  3)$
