Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (6, 2) and has a slope of 3?

y = x +

Answer 1

We can first plug it into point-slope form:

\(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

Where \(y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(m\) is the slope.

So we have:

\(y - 2 = 3(x - 6)\)

Now distribute 3 into the parenthesis:

\(y - 2 = 3x - 18\)

Now add 2 to both sides, what's -18 + 2?

Answer 2

y=3x+-4

Answer 3

@iGreen.

Answer 4

Add -18 + 2

Answer 5

-16

Answer 6

@iGreen.

Answer 7

Yes, so we have:

\(y = 3x - 16\)

So '3' goes in the first blank and '-16' goes in the 2nd.
