Question

Find the equation of a straight line that has a slope of and
is passing through the point . Simplify and write the
equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

a line equation you could follow is

\[y _{1}- y = m (x _{1} - x)\]

Answer 2

oops i got that wrong.

Answer 3

i mean
\[y - y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 4

so m is the slope. y1 is the y coordinate of the given point. and x1 is the x coordinate of the given point.

Answer 5

you just plug in the numbers and solve for y.

Answer 6

simply and write the equation in slope intercept form

Answer 7

so if you plug in the numbers and solve for y, y should equal mx + b

Answer 8

i don't know how to write it in simple form

Answer 9

i think the slope intercept form, y=mx + b, is the already the simplified form (:

Answer 10

how would i write it m=2/3 -2,-4 in slope intercept form

Answer 11

if you plug in those numbers to the first equation i gave you, you would get

y+4=(2/3)(x+2)

Answer 12

thank you

Answer 13

to simplify that, you multiply the (2/3) with x and with 2. then you subtract 4 from both sides. no problem !

Answer 14

what

Answer 15

if you want to get y by itself on the left side. thats what you would do.
so y= (2/3)x - (8/3)
that is your final answer.
