Question

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2 3 .

Answer 1

3y = 2x + 24

Explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2/3

Solution

Here, we have a point and a slope, and we want to write the equation of the line

The method we shall use here is the point slope method

Mathematically, that will be;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

(x1,y1) = (6,12)

m = 2/3

y-12 = 2/3(x-6)

3(y-12) = 2(x-6)

3y-36 = 2x - 12

3y = 2x -12 + 36

3y = 2x + 24
