Question

write the equation of the line that has slope of 2/3 and passes through 1,3

Answer 1

dont give me the answer. help me work through it please

Answer 2

Ok do you know point slope form?
y - y1 = m(x - 1)

Answer 3

yes ive heard of it

Answer 4

i think it starts off as y= 2/3x and then idk where to go from there

Answer 5

Ok they give you a point and the slope so first you have to put in point slope form:)
Fill in the values of x and y in the x1 and y1. and put the slope for m
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 6

y= 2/3x

Answer 7

After you put it in point slope you can find slope-intercept form...
y - 3 = 2/3(x - 1)
Distribute

Answer 8

now what do i do

Answer 9

you distribute the 2/3 into the (x - 1) and what do get?

Answer 10

how

Answer 11

ok.. to distribute you multiply the 2/3 by each factor in the parenthesis:
2/3 * x = ?
2/3 * -1 =?

Answer 12

so its 0.666666666

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

ok so what is it

Answer 15

2/3 * x = 2/3x

Answer 16

sorry lost internet connection!

Answer 17

can you give me the answer please
