Question

Write an Equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope: "(3,1) Slope 2"

Answer 1

I need the answer w/ work.

Answer 2

ok, i'll help

do you remember the slope intercept form of y=mx+b?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

so if we were to have an equation of a line, then that means we will use the format of
y=mx+b
in the question we are given: x, y and m, so we need to figure out what 'b' is inorder to write the equation.
to find 'b' replace all the variables in the y=mx+b equation with the numbers we know, then solve for 'b'

Answer 5

So y=3x+2?

Answer 6

1x*

Answer 7

close, that is how the answer should look when we are done, with only the x and y showing and numbers for the rest, but what I meant to say was solve for 'b' if
x=3
y=1
m=2
in y=mx+b

Answer 8

Ah. Okay. Carry on

Answer 9

so, then we'd have
1=2(3)+b
do you see it?

solve for 'b' now ^_^

Answer 10

@Happymail123 still need help or you got it? i'm just hanging around to help..

Answer 11

What would the answer be in the end?

Answer 12

y=2x+b, but you have to plug in b. b is from this equation i put up before, 1=2(3)+b

Answer 13

Thanks!

Answer 14

yep ^_^
have a good day
