Find the equation for :A line that passes through (5,4) and has a slope of 2.

Thanks

Can you please write what kind of thoughts you've done about this? It's a matter of principle for me, that I won't answer questions if you havn't even tried yourself. I'm not saying you havn't, I'm just asking you to show that you have

nope i cant find it it seems the folder i kept it in is empty...

anyway i think its x2=1 i cant remember it was x2 something and then i think it was 1 because it passed through 1. ill tell you when i found my work

Hi runlemmingsrun1,

Here, one point and the slope are given.

So, we have to use the slope-point formula.

That is, (y - y1) = m (x - x1)

Given that, (x1,y1) = (5,4) and the slope m = 2.

y - 4 = 2 (x - 5)

y - 4 = 2x - 10

y - 2x = -10 +4

y - 2x = -6

y - 2x +6 = 0

This is our required answer.
