Find the equation of the straight line passing through 4,1 with a gradient of 1

1 Answer

5 votes

Answer:

y = x - 3

Explanation:

If the gradient (slope) of the line is m, then the point-slope form of the appropriate equation is y - k = m(x - h). If the gradient is 1, then

y - k = x - h

Since this line passes through (4, 1), we have

y - 1 = x - 4, or

y = x - 3
