Question

What is the equation of the line with m = 6 that goes through the point (1, 4)?

a. y – 4 = 6(x 1)
b. y – 4 = 6(x – 1)
c. y 4 = 6(x – 1)
d. y 4 = 6(x 1

Answer 1

Using the slope and one point format.

Slope, m = 6, Point = (1, 4), x₁ = 1, y₁ = 4

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 4 = 6(x - 1)

So the equation is y - 4 = 6(x - 1), option B

Hope this explains it.
