Question

Write the equation of the line...
through: (-3, 1) with slope: 2
y = mx + b

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Use point-slope form and substitute in the x and y values

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(1)=2(x-(-3))

Step 2: Simplify the expression

y-1 = 2(x+3)

Add one to the other side

y= 2(x+3)+1

Multiple 2 by (x+3)

y=2x+6+1

Add common terms

y=2x + 7
