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

The slope-intercept form of a line is: \(y = mx + c\) where c is the y-intercept of the line.

You are given a point on the line (6,2) and you are given the slope of the line (3).
The point-slope form of a line is: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) because \(m = \frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}\) where m is the slope of the line, \((x_1,y_1)\) is the point on the line.

After substituting the values represent it in the slope-intercept form.

Answer 2

thank you :)

Answer 3

uhm i'm really bad at math so is there any way you could help me simplify that answer because i'm lost....

Answer 4

y−y1=m(x−x1) <-- use this equation. You have 2 points (x,y) = (6,2) and m which is the slope m = 3.

Answer 5

just plug in and solve for y

Answer 6

thank you! :)

Answer 7

was you able to do it?
