Question

Find the equation of a line passing through the point (2, 3) and having a slope of 3.

Select the appropriate response

A) y = (– 2/3)x + 8/3
B) y=3x-3
C) y=1/2x+1


help please!!!!!

Answer 1

The answer to your question is the letter B) y = 3x - 3

Explanation:

Data

Point = (2, 3)

slope = m = 3

Process

To solve this problem just substitute the values given in the slope-point equation.

Formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

x1 = 2 y1 = 3

-Substitution

y - 3 = 3(x - 2)

-Expand

y - 3 = 3x - 6

-Solve for y

y = 3x - 6 + 3

-Result

y = 3x - 3
