Question

Write the point slope form of the equation for a line that’s passes through (-1,4) with a slope of 2

Answer 1

The answer is

`y - 4 = 2(x + 1)`

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)`

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the slope is 2 and the point is ( - 1 , 4)

The equation in point slope form is

`y - 4 = 2(x + 1)`

Hope this helps you
