Question

Enter in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given point and having the given slope.

Answer 1

B(2, - 5), m = -2/3

Answer 2

the general slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m = slope, b = y-intercept

so your equation becomes

y = -2/3x + b

substitute x = 2 and y = -5 to find b

does that make sense...

Answer 3

ya but what would be your final answer?

Answer 4

ok so what did you get as the slope intercept answer..?

Answer 5

the standard form is

Ax + By = C

so jut do some manipulation

Answer 6

sorry still dont get it

Answer 7

ok... did you get an equation in slope intercept form...?

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

so did you substitute x = 2 and y = -5 and find b..?

Answer 8

okay is b 11/3?

Answer 9

close its - 11/3

so the equation is

y = -2/3 x - 11/3

mutilpy every term by 3

3y = -2x - 11

just add 2x to both sides of the equation for the answer

Answer 10

my final answer is y=-2x/3 -11/3

Answer 11

thats the slope intercept form of the line

your question asked for the standard form

Ax + By = C

so multiply by 3

3y = -2x - 11

add 2x to both sides of the equation.... to get the standard form.

Answer 12

what do you meen add 2x on both sides of the equation

Answer 13

ok...
