through: (4,3), slope = 1

1 answer

To find the equation of a line that passes through the point (4, 3) with a slope of 1, you can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is given by:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is the point on the line, and \( m \) is the slope. In this case, \( (x_1, y_1) = (4, 3) \) and \( m = 1 \).

Substituting in these values, we get:

\[ y - 3 = 1(x - 4) \]

Simplifying this equation:

\[ y - 3 = x - 4 \]

Adding 3 to both sides:

\[ y = x - 4 + 3 \]

\[ y = x - 1 \]

So, the equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 3) with a slope of 1 is:

\[ y = x - 1 \]
