The general equation of a line is: x − x 1 y − y 1 = m When m is the gradient and x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the points on the line Therefore: x − 2 y − 1 = 3/4 4 y − 4 = 3 x − 6 4 y = 3 x − 2
Answer: 4y = 3x - 2 ;
The equation of the line with a slope of 4 3 that passes through the point (2, 1) is y = 4 3 x − 2 1 .
