Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 3 that passes through the point (4,1).A. y = 3x + 13B. y= 3x - 11C. y= 3x - 1D. y=3x- 4

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of a line:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Replacing with m = 3 and point (4, 1) into the equation, we get:

1 = 3(4) + b

1 = 12 + b

1 - 12 = b

-11 = b

Then, the equation is:

y = 3x - 11
