a) substitute m = 4 and c = - 2 into the slope intercept equation, thus, the equation of the line is y = 4x - 2
The answer is y = 4x - 2
b) Let's begin by listing out the given information:
The line has a slope of 3
The equation of the line becomes:
[tex]y = mx + b \\ m = 3 \\ y = 3x + b[/tex]
The line passes through point (1, 5).
We will obtain the equation using the point-slope formula, we have:
[tex]y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ (x1 \: y1) = (1 \: 5) \\ y - 5 = 3(x - 1) \\ y - 5 = 3x - 3 \\ y = 3x - 3 + 5 \\ y = 3x + 2[/tex]
Therefore, the equation of the straight line is y = 3x + 2
c) we use that point and the slope to replace in the expression:
[tex]y - y1 = m(x - x1)[/tex]
That is:
[tex]y - 0 = 2(x - 3) \: \: y = 2x - 6[/tex]
y = 2x - 6 is the answer
