Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 3) and has a slope
of 1?

Answer 1

y = x - 1

Explanation:

Since we already know the slope, we need to find the y - intercept.

We plug in the x and y coordinates that we know and slope into the equation to find y intercept.

Once we know this, we can replace the b and m in the y = mx + b and that is the equation of the line.
