Question

Write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,- 1) with a slope of 3

Answer 1

y=3x-7

Explanation:

1. Use The Slope Formula

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

2. Fill in the given values

y=3x+b

3. Use the given points to solve for b

-1=3*2+b

-1=6+b

-7=b

4. Final equation

y=3x-7

Answer 2

Y= 3X-7

Explanation:

the equation of the line has the formular

Y-Y1= M (X-X1)

here, M= slope= 3

X1=2 Y1= -1

Y--1= 3(X-2)

Y+1= 3X-6

Y= 3X-6-1

Y= 3X-7
