What is the equation of a line containing point (2, 5) and has the same slope as the line 4x – 2y = 12?

Answer 1

Let's find the slope from the given line. after converting 4x-2y = 12 into slope-intercept form we get y = 2x-6. Thus the slope or m = 2.

We can then use either slope-intercept form or point-slope form to figure out the answer.

using the slope-intercept formula.

y = mx + b , plug in m = 2 and your point (2,5)

You get: y = 2x+1 -> answer

using the point-slope formula.

y-y1 = m(x-x1) , plug in m = 2 and your point (2,5)

You get: y = 2x+1

I hope this helps! S.C.
