Write the equation of the line that has a slope of 4 and passes through the point ( -2,6)

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the equation of a line using the slope and given point such that we pull out the point-slope formula to get

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = 4(x - (-2))

y - 6 = 4(x + 2).............Distribute the 4 inside to get

y - 6 = 4x + 8.............Then add 6 to both sides such that

y = 4x + 14

I hope this helps!
