Answer:

I am not sure which form you want.

Points slope: y -2 = 3(x -4)

Slope intercept: y = 3x -10

Explanation:

Point slope form for the line

y- y = m(x -x)

slope of 3 and the point (4,2) Use 4 for x and 2 for y

y -2 = 3(x -4)

Slope intercept form of a line

y = mx + b

2 = 3(4) + b

2 = 12 + b Subtract 12 from both sides

2 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b

-10 = b

y = mx + b

y = 3x -10
