Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
-Slope $= 2$, passing through $( 7,2 )$
A) $y - 2 = 2 ( x - 7 )$
B) $y + 2 = 2 ( x + 7 )$
C) $x - 2 = 2 ( y - 7 )$
D) $y = 2 x - 12$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point-slope form of a line is $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$, where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line. Given the slope $m = 2$ and a point $(7, 2)$, the equation is $y - 2 = 2(x - 7)$.
