Question 945298:  find the slope, a point on the line, and graph the following equation
 
y-1=2(x-3)
 
This is what I did.  I want to check my work and ensure I am following directions correctly.
 
y=2x-5
 
m=2/1 
b=-5
 
Now I graph a point on the y axis at negative 5 and then rise 2 and run 1, correct?

============== 
It's correct. 
You can pick any value for x and find y. 
eg, x = 3, y = 1 --> the point (3,1)
