Question 77856: okay i have to find the standard form of a line that has slope of 3 and passes through the coordinate pair (4,2)
Answer by chitra(359)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The general equation of the line is given by:
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope and (x,y) is the co-ordinate point.
Let us substitute the given slope and the point in the above equation.
y = (3)x + b
Now substituting the point, we have,
2 = (3)(4) + b
2 = 12 + b
2 - 12 = b
b = -10
Now, we substitute the "b" value and the slope to find the equation of the straight line.
y = 3x - 12
is the equation of the required line.
Hence, the solution.
