Answer: y=3x+14

Explanation:

General equation of the line is y = mx+b, m=3 and a point on the line is (-4, 2)

Substitute -4 for x and 2 for y

y=3x+b

(2)=3(-4)+b

2 = -12 + b

2 + 12 = b

b = 14

Therefore the equation of the line is y=3x+14

Answer:

y = 3x + 14

Explanation:

use the formula:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

using the formula:

  • y - 2 = 3 ( x - - 4 )
  • y - 2 = 3 ( x + 4 )
  • y - 2 = 3x + 12
  • y = 3x + 12 + 2
  • y = 3x + 14
