Question

What is the equation of the ine that has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (3, -10) ?

Answer 1

y+10=4(x-3) in point-slope form

Explanation:

In point-slope form, this is how you will write out the equation. Point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1). You substitute the values in order to get this equation.

Answer 2

The answer is

`\huge y = 4x - 22`

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 point is (3, -10) and the slope 4

We have

`y + 10 = 4(x - 3) \\ y + 10 = 4x - 12 \\ y = 4x - 12 - 10`

We have the final answer as

`y = 4x - 22`

Hope this helps you
