Question

Write an equation in point-slope form that passes through (3, 1) and has a slope of 2.

Answer 1

Hi, Arshad!

The way to write an equation in point-slope form is by doing this:

y - y_{, =} m (x - x₁)

Your slope of 2 is m.

Your point (3, 1) is (x₁, y₁)

y - 1 = 2 (x - 3)

I hope this helps!

Best, Karen
