Line in the -plane has a slope of passes through the point . Which equation defines line ?
Explanation
Choice is correct. The equation that defines line in the -plane can be written in slope-intercept form , where is the slope of line and is its -intercept. It's given that line has a slope of . Therefore, . Substituting for in the equation yields , or . It's also given that line passes through the point . Substituting for and for in the equation yields , or . Adding to both sides of this equation yields . Substituting for in the equation yields .
Choice is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
