Question

Write the equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of one-third and passes through the point
(-6, 0).
A. y minus 0 equals one-third times the quantity x plus 6
B. y minus 0 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 6
C. y plus 6 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 0
D. y minus 6 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 0

Answer 1

Hi! you want an equation of the form\[y = m(x - x_o)+ y_o\]

Answer 2

Your know that \[m = \frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 3

and \[(x_0,y_0)=(-6,0)\]

Answer 4

So you just need tu plug those values into the equation, so: \[y = \frac{1}{3}(x-(-6))+0\]

Answer 5

Simplifying you get: \[y = \frac{1}{3}x+2\]

Answer 6

none of those answers are on here

Answer 7

i'm so confused

Answer 8

wait a minute.

Answer 9

Look carefully, the answer is there.

Answer 10

it doesn't have that available in the answer choices

Answer 11

yes it is available.

Answer 12

okay then , i'll type these in the equation form , you tell me which answer it is .

Answer 13

You can write the last equation I wrote like this: \[y = \frac{1}{3}(x+6)\]

Answer 14

Is that equation available at the options?

Answer 15

yeah , you forgot the y - 0 = though . okay now i see it . thanks .

Answer 16

well is not necessary to write the 0

Answer 17

You're welcome.
