Question

Use the point-slope form of a line to write the equation of

a line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point
(4,3). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
O y= 2x – 7
O y= 2x + 11
O y=-4x + 14
O y = 3x +14

Answer 1

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

The point-slope form is y - k = m(x - h). Substituting 2 for m, 4 for h and 3 for k, we get:

y - 3 = 2(x - 4), or

y - 3 = 2x - 8, or y = 2x - 8 + 3, or:

y = 2x - 5
