Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 3/7 passing through the point (9, -2).

Answer 1

Please HELP!

Answer 2

use the point slope formula sub in your info and solve for y=mx+b

Answer 3

Canyou show me how?

Answer 4

the point slope formula is

y-y1=x(x-x1)

Answer 5

So can you do this one to show me as an example?

Answer 6

y-(-2)=3/7(x-9)

y+2=3/7(x-9)

y+2=3/7x-27/7

y=3/7x-27/7-2

y=3/7x-13/7

Answer 7

So can you do this one to show me as an example?

Answer 8

Are you there?

Answer 9

You have a point (h,k) = (9,-2)
You have a slope m = 3/7

Plug those into the equation:
\[y-k = m(x-h)\]

That is the equation for the line going through that point with that slope.
