Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 3 passing through the point (4,10)

Answer 1

3x - y - 2 =0

Explanation:

Equation of line in point slope form is given as:

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

Plug
`_1 =4\:y_1= 10\: \& \: m = 3` in the above equation, we find:

`y-10 =3(x-4)\\\\</p><p>y - 10 = 3x - 12\\\\</p><p>y = 3x - 12+ 10\\\\</p><p>y = 3x - 2\\\\</p><p>3x - y - 2 =0</p><p>`
