Question

Slope of 2 and passes through the point (-4,3). Write the equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

The equation is y = 2x + 11.

Explanation:

It is given that the gradient of the equation is 2. Using slope-form formula, y = mx+b where m is gradient and b is y-intercept. In order to find b, you have to substitute x-coordinate and y-coordinate into the equation :

y = mx + b

m = 2

At(-4,3),

3 = 2(-4) + b

b = 3 - 2(-4)

= 11
