Question

    Find the equation of the line passing through the point (3, 4) and having a slope of 2.

    A y = 2x + 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B y = 2x - 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C y = 2x + 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D y = 2x - 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) = (3, 4) and m = 2. y - 4 = 2(x - 3). Simplifying, y = 2x - 2. Correct answer: b) y = 2x – 2
