Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the following formula?

y = 2 + 6(x-3)
6
12
-3
-6
3

Answer 1

slope = 6

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

given

y = 2 + 6(x - 3 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y - 2 = 6(x - 3) ← in point- slope form

with slope m = 6
