Question

write an equation in slope intercept form of the line:
(5, 1); m=1/3

Answer 1

y=(1/3)x -(2/3)

Answer 2

Can you explain how you did this? I am not good at math at all. :P

Answer 3

Ok!

Answer 4

\[y=mx+b\]
\[(1)=(\frac{ 1 }{ 3 })(5)+b\]
\[1-\frac{5}{3}=b\]
\[b = \frac{3}{3}-\frac{5}{3}=\frac{-2}{3}\]

So
y=mx+b
\[y=\frac{x}{3}-\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 5

Okay, Thank you so much! I gave you a medal. c:
