Given point is and slope(m) =
3.
Because you know the slope and a point on the line,
\Use point - slope form to write an equation of the line.
Let =
and slope(m) =
3.
(Substitute
1 for
,3 for
and m =
3)
Rewrite in slope - intercept form.
\ (Product of two same signs is positive)
(Apply distributive property:
)
(Multiply:
)
(Subtract 1 from each side)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
(Subtract:
)
The equation of the line is .
