slope intercept form :
\[\large y = \color{Red}{m}x +\color{red}{ b}\]
\(\large \color{Red}{m}\) : slope
\(\large \color{Red}{b}\) : y intercept
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you're given \(\large \color{red}{m=2} \) :
\[\large y = \color{Red}{2}x +\color{red}{ b}\]
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
use the given point to find the value of intercept

3?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
whats 3 ?

The y intercept.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
nope im getting a different number,
how did u get 3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
From the point (3,4).
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you need to plug that point in the equation `y = 2x + b`
and solve `b`
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
4 = 2*3 + b
4 = 6 + b
-2 = b

so the equation of line would be :
\[\large y = \color{Red}{2}x -\color{red}{ 2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what you saying is the equation is y = 2x + -2?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes but nobody leaves +- like that
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
+*- = -

Alright.
