Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (3, 7).

Ans:
The format of a line passing through (x1, y1) and with slope m is

%28y+-+y1%29%2F%28x+-+x1%29+=+m

Here, the point is (3,7) and slope m = 2.
So the equation is

%28y+-+7%29%2F%28x+-+3%29+=+2

Cross multiplying
%28y+-+7%29+=+2%2A%28x+-+3%29+=+2%2Ax+-+6
or
y+=+2%2Ax+%2B+1} is the equation of the line.
