Find the equation of the line in the form = + whose slope is 2 and a point (1, -3) on the line​

Sagot :

y

=

2

x

+

1

Explanation:

Well if the slope is the gradient you have the formula

y

y

1

=

m

(

x

x

1

)

so the equation of the line becomes:

y

3

=

2

(

x

1

)

y

3

=

2

x

2

y

=

2

x

+

1

(in

y

=

m

x

+

b

form)

or

2

x

y

+

1

=

0

(

a

x

+

b

y

+

c

form)
