Question

What is the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-4)

Answer 1

y = m(x - 2) - 4

Explanation:

Equation of a straight line is given by;

y = mx + c

Take a point on the line (x, y) and the given point (2, -4)

gradient = change x/ change in y

gardient(m) = y +4/ x - 2

m(x-2) = y + 4

y = m(x - 2) - 4
