OpenStudy (amistre64):
y = -(2/3)(x-6)-2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[y = -\frac{2x}{3} -6\]
OpenStudy (amistre64):
that aint right is it..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk lol

-*-=+ i see it
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[y = -\frac{2}{3}x-10\] maybe
OpenStudy (amistre64):
im gonna have to do this the long way...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=−(2/3)X + 2

thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):
y = -(2/3)(x-6)-2
y = (-2/3)x+(-2/3)-6 -2
y = (-2/3)x+(12/3) -2
y = (-2/3)x+2 is right
OpenStudy (amistre64):
....fraction keep laughing at me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you need to use the point slope formula for these problems:
\[(y-y _{1}) = m(x - x _{1})\]

i shoulda multied his butt with a 3 ....thatd a showed it

so this isnt the right answer

just use the formula, y-y1=m(x-x1)
(6, -2) and has a slope of -2/3
y+2=-2/3(x-6)
3(y+2)=-2(x-6)
3y+6=-2x+12
2x+3y=12-6
2x+3y=6
