the line passing thorugh point (4,3) with slope 2

1 answer

To find the equation of a line passing through a given point (4,3) with a given slope of 2, we can use the point-slope form of a line:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where (x₁, y₁) is the given point and m is the given slope.

Substituting the values, we have:

y - 3 = 2(x - 4)

Expanding the equation, we get:

y - 3 = 2x - 8

To isolate y, we can add 3 to both sides:

y = 2x - 8 + 3

Simplifying further:

y = 2x - 5

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point (4,3) with a slope of 2 is y = 2x - 5.
