Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope:

Point: (4, -6)
Slope: 2
Please show me how to do this, thanks.

Answer 1

y=2x-14

Explanation:

y=mx+b(m is slope)

we know

y=2x+b

so if you plug in the values for the points you get

-6=4(2)+b

-6=8+b

b=-14

so then the complete equation would be

y=2x-14
