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

Answer 1

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = 3

x₁ = 6

y₁ = -2

Plug in the numbers.

Answer 2

You can use the following equation. (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

The slope is m=3

Plug in the slope and the values of (x1,y1) using the point provided. (6,-2)

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

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

y+2=3x-18 Subtract 2 from both sides

y+2-2=3x-18-2 Simplify

y=3x-20
