11. Find the equation of the line with slope 3 and passing through (4, 2).
There is a point-slope form for a line y - y1 = m(x - x1)
point = (x1, y1) = (4, 2)
slope = m = 3
Substituting: y - 2 = 3(x - 4)
y - 2 = 3x - 12
y = 3x - 10
The point-slope form is probably the most useful of all the forms; it would save you a lot of time if you could learn it.
