Question

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (2,4) and has a gradient of 1/3 . leave your answer in the form y = m x + c

Answer 1

y = mx + b

y = 1/3x + b

Use (2,4) to find b

4 = 1/3(2) + b

b = 4 - 2/3

b = 12 - 2

3

b = 10/3

The equation will be:

The equation will be: y = 1/3x + 10/3
