Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,-8) and has a slope m=3

Answer 1

The equation of the line will have the form y=Ax+B where A, B are constants to be found. Since we want the slope to be 3 we have that A=3. Since we want the line to pass through the point (6,-8) we have that -8=3(6)+B or B=-26. Thus, the equation of the line is y=3x-26.
