Question 432479: Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (4, 2). Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do it like this:
-------------
Slope = -1/2
m = -1/2
--------
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept
7 = (-1/2)*3 + b
b = 8.5 or 17/2
--> y = (-1/2)x + 17/2 in slope-intercept form
x + 2y = 17 in standard form
