Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,4) with slope 2

Answer 1

y=-2x+2

This is the equation

Answer 2

For this case, we have:

`y-yo = m (x-xo)`
Where,
m: slope of the linear function
(xo, yo): ordered pair that belongs to the linear function.
We have then that the slope of the line is:

`m = 2`
The line passes through the point (-1,4), therefore we have:

`y-4 = 2 (x - (- 1))`
Rewriting we have:

`y-4 = 2 (x + 1)`
Answer:
An equation of the line that passes through the point (-1.4) with slope 2 is:

`y-4 = 2 (x + 1)`
