Question

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3.

3x - y - 7 = 0
x - 3y + 7 = 0
x - 3y - 7 = 0

Answer 1

First write it in point-slope form, and then rearrange terms.

Answer 2

y+2 = 1/3(x-1) is point-slope form. Now rearrange the terms.

Answer 3

Point Slope form being the following, place your points into point slope and move everything over into general form. Y=mx+b
\[Y-Y _{1}=m(X-X _{1})\]
