Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 3 that passes through the point (4,1)​

Answer 1

y = 3x - 11

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (4, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 12 = - 11

y = 3x - 11 ← equation of line
