Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through (5,0) and has a slope of -2/3

Answer 1

You want to start with point-slope form. (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

use slope intercept form
y=mx+c
where m=-2/3
y=0
x=5

put in the y=mx+c to get c.

Answer 3

Since (5,0) is a y-intercept, you can put it in the form y = mx + b.
m = slope
b = y=intercept

So y = -2/3x + 5
