Equation of line (-2,4) slope 3

Question

Find the​ slope-intercept form of the line whose slope is 3 and that passes through the point (-2, 4).

Answer 1

since slope=3 the equation is y=3x+b

substitute 4 for y and -2 for x to solve for b

4=3(-2)+b

4=-6 +b

b=10

equation is y=3x+10

Answer 2

Use the point-slope form of the equation: m(x - x₁) = y - y₁ and substitute the values as 3(x -(-2)) = y - 4. Rearrange to get y = 3x + 10.
