Question

Complete the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that has a slope of 12 and passes through the point (3,20).

a) Y = 12x - 36
b) Y = 12x + 36
c) Y = 12x - 4
d) Y = 12x + 4

Answer 1

a) Y = 12x - 36. The equation of the line with a slope of 12 and passing through the point (3,20) is Y = 12x - 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is 12 and the line passes through the point (3,20), we can substitute these values into the equation.

So, substituting the values, we get y = 12x - 16.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) Y = 12x - 36.
