Question

1 of 5
Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,1) and has a gradient of 3.
Leave your answer in the form ax + by = C Where a, b and C are integers.​

Answer 1

Answer: 3x - y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you're confused due to the word 'gradient'

Let me help you.

And yes gradient and slope are the same thing.

So, we have slope (m) = 3

And a point (3,1)

Hurray! Then we can use point-slope form formula.

i.e. (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - 1) = 3(x - 3)

-3x +y + 8 = 0

Hence, 3x - y = 8_____(Ans.)

Thanks Buddy!

Hope this may help you.

Good LucK!
