Equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given slope of the line, m = 2. Form an equation y = mx + b
⇒ y = 2x + b ---- (1)
- Step 2: The line passes through the point (4,2). So it will satisfy the equation. Find b by substituting x = 4 and y = 2.
⇒ 2 = 2 × 4 + b = 8 + b
⇒ b = -6
- Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation.
⇒ y = 2x - 6
