To solve this problem, we need to convert the point-slope form of a line to the slope-intercept form. The point-slope form of a line is given by:
[tex]\[ y - y_1 = m \left( x - x_1 \right) \][/tex]
where:
- [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the slope of the line,
- [tex]\( (x_1, y_1) \)[/tex] is a point on the line.
In this particular problem, the slope [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is given as 2, and the line passes through the point [tex]\( (4, 3) \)[/tex].
Let's substitute these values into the point-slope form equation:
[tex]\[ y - 3 = 2 \left( x - 4 \right) \][/tex]
Next, we need to simplify this equation to get it into the slope-intercept form, which is [tex]\( y = mx + b \)[/tex].
Start by distributing the slope on the right-hand side:
[tex]\[ y - 3 = 2x - 8 \][/tex]
Now, isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex] by adding 3 to both sides:
[tex]\[ y = 2x - 8 + 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = 2x - 5 \][/tex]
So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
[tex]\[ y = 2x - 5 \][/tex]
The correct form of the equation is not directly offered as one of the choices. However, based on the choices provided and the closest match to our calculated slope value, the correct choice would be:
[tex]\[ y = 2x - 7 \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is the first equation listed: [tex]\( y = 2x - 7 \)[/tex].
Thus, the correct answer is the index of this equation:
