Question

What is an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (6,-2) and had a slope of 3

Answer 1

y - 6 = 3(x + 2)

Explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given: m(slope) = 3, (6, -2)

(x1, y1) = (6, -2)

Input the given values of the slope and the point into the equation for point-slope form:

y - (-2) = 3(x - 6)

y + 2 = 3(x - 6)

The equation written in point-slope form is: y + 2 = 3(x - 6)
