Question
For the equation y -2 = 3(x +1), the line contains the point (−1,2), Slope is ________.
- -1
- 3
- -3
- 5
Hint:
Given the equation in point slope form
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
the m is slope of the line .
The correct answer is: 3
The equation y -2 = 3(x +1).
Step 1 : Compare to y - y1 = m (x - x1)
m is the slope
Step 2 : On Comparing
m= 3.
So , slope is m which is 3 , slope is 3 .
Number on rhs outside bracket is your slope .
