Question

Write the equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through the point (-6, 0).
A.Y-0=-1/3(X+6)
B.Y-0=1/3(X-6)
C.Y+6=1/3(X-0)
D.Y-6=1/3(X-0)

Answer 1

Point-slope form:
\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]
Plug in 1/3 for m and the point for x_1 and y_1

Answer 2

IS IT B

Answer 3

You sure you wrote B correctly? It should be:
\[y - 0 = \frac13(x + 6)\]

Answer 4

Or did you forget a negative somewhere?

Answer 5

yeah srry i meant d

Answer 6

Using the equation provided by Calcmathlete:
y-0=1/3(x-(-6)
y-0=1/3(x+6) It aint B

Answer 7

its d

Answer 8

Think

Answer 9

oh its a

Answer 10

Yeah, I think you probably mishandled the sign.

Answer 11

thank you

Answer 12

Think some more......the slope must be a positive 1/3 To be honest, I don;t see the answer yet.

Answer 13

Now I do, and the D was right, let me rearrange D
Y=1/3x+6 Sorry you were correct, and I was the one that needed to think Lol

Answer 14

Don't know why they put D. in such a way. But it turns out to be the best answer.

Answer 15

so its D.

Answer 16

Yes it is D. D when arranged as a "slope intercept" form is correct. They have tried to make it tricky.!

Answer 17

OKAY THANK YOU

Answer 18

Sorry, if I steered you away from D. It was my fault, I just did not imagine what it would look like if arranged properly.

Answer 19

ITS FINE DONT WRRY ABOUT IT
