Determine the equation of the line with slope 3 and passes through the point (2, -4). Express the equation of the line in both slope–intercept form and standard form.
***
Standard form of equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept.
For given line:
equation: y=3x+b
solve for b using coordinates of given point (2,-4)
-4=3*2+b
b=-10
equation of given line:
y=3x-10
or
3x-y=10
