Q. Write and equation for a line passing through this point, and with this slope(2,6)m=3y=3xy=3x+2y=x+3y=21x+3
Start with Point-Slope Form: Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to start the problem.The point-slope form is given by (y−y1)=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point the line passes through.Given point: (2,6)Given slope: m=3
Substitute Point and Slope: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form equation.(y−6)=3(x−2)
Distribute Slope: Distribute the slope on the right side of the equation.(y−6)=3x−6
Add 6 to Solve for y: Add 6 to both sides of the equation to solve for y.y=3x−6+6y=3x
Check Answer Choices: Check the answer choices to see which one matches the derived equation.The correct equation is y=3x, which is one of the choices provided.
