Determine the equation of the line with slope 3 that passes through the point (2, 0).

y = −3x + 6
y = −3x − 6
y = 3x − 6
6x + 2y = 3

Hello there! :)

If we are given the slope of the line and a point that the line passes through, we can write its equation in point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-0=3(x-2)

y-0=3x-6

y=3x-6

Therefore, that's the equation. The right option is Option C.

I hope this helps you.

Please let me know if you have any doubts.

Good luck on your assignment.
