Question

the equation of the line with a slope of -1/3 and passing through the point (6, -4).

Answer 1

When it asks for the equation of a line, you should instantly think of SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM.

y=mx+b

Here, you have the slope and an x and y value.

Answer 2

substitute m for -1/3 then substitute 6 for x and -4 for y and solve for b. when your done your equation should look something like this y=5x+6

Answer 3

y=5x+6 isn't the answer, to clarify.

Answer 4

-4= -1/3(6) +b
-4=-2+b
b=-2
Answer: y=-1/3x-2

Answer 5

yup lol
