Find the equation of this line with the y-intercept=2 and passing through (2;6)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Start with the \"slope-intercept\" form of the line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "(x,y) specifies a single point on the line
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem gives a single point at (2,6) and the y-intercept as 2. Plug the given info into the slope-intercept form and solve for m:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "6 = m(2) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "6 = 2m + 2
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 2m
\n" ); document.write( "2 = m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the equation of the line is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
