Question

write the equation of the line containing the point (3 -2) and having a slope of 2 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Do you know point slope form? y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

substitute in -2 for y1 and 3 for x1

Answer 3

and substitute in the slope for m.

Answer 4

you should get y-(-2)=2(x-3)

Answer 5

Now simplify it! -(-2)= 2

Answer 6

also distribute 2(the slope) to x and -3

Answer 7

you should now have y+2=2x-6

Answer 8

Now solve the rest of the equation. Subtract 2 on both sides. you should get your answer.
y=2x-8
