Question

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form.

y – (–2) = ___(x – ___)

Answer 1

`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) = (2 - (-2))/(2 - 1) = (2 + 2)/(1) = (4)/(1) = 4`

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-2) = 4(x - 1)
y + 2 = 4(x - 1)
y + 2 = 4(x) - 4(1)
y + 2 = 4x - 4
- 2 - 2
y = 4x - 6
