What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (3, 4) and has a slope of 2?
y = x +

y=mx+b so
you need to find b so this is that you do
(3,4)- 4 goes in for y and 3 goes in for x like this
4=3+b
then subtract 3 from 4 and you get 1 and the slope is 2 so
y=2x+1
OpenStudy (zpupster):
y=mx+b
4=2(3)+b
4= 6+b
4-6=b
-2=b
y=2x-2

Dont you mean + 2?
OpenStudy (danjs):
Point (3,4) slope = 2
point-slope form
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 4 = 2*(x-3)
OpenStudy (danjs):
put that into form they want, y=mx + b, by distributing the 2, and isolating Y by itself

y=2x+1 is what i had
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so im right?
OpenStudy (danjs):
y - 4 = 2*(x-3)
y - 4 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 6 + 4
y = 2x - 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uh it wont let me put a - tho, it has a + and i cant change it
OpenStudy (danjs):
+ (-2)

plus a negative, is the same as, minus
OpenStudy (danjs):
y = 2x + (-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok i guess... im pretty unsure :/
OpenStudy (danjs):
that is what it is, type -2 for the b spot in y=mx+b
