Question

Find the equation of the line given using point-slope:
(5, 4) m= 2

Answer 1

`y=2x-6`

Explanation:

The point-slope formula is
`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))`, where
`(x_(1), y_(1))` is the point, and m is the slope.

`y-4=2(x-5)`, and not you distribute the 2 to get

`y-4=2x-10`, and you add 4 to get y by itself

`y=2x-6`
