Question 486047: find the equation of the line having the given slope, and containing the given point.
m=9 (6,7)
the equation of the line is y=? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You cannot find the equation of a line since there are many ways to describe the set of ordered pairs that comprise any given line. You can, however, determine an equation whose solution set is a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line with the given characteristics. Use the point-slope form.
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the given slope.
It looks from the last line of your question that the slope-intercept form () is the desired form of the answer.
So distribute the across , add to both sides, and combine .
