Question

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

Answer 1

Use

Answer 2

I would use point slope form because you have the slope and the points.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/3
(6,-4) x1 = 6, y1 = -4
now sub these into your formula

Answer 3

I know how to do all of this.. but the answer that I'm getting is apparently wrong?

Answer 4

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-4) = -1/3(x - 6)
y + 4 = -1/3x + 2
y = -1/3x + 2 - 4
y = -1/3x - 2

Answer 5

oops...sorry, I lost track of time....I got to go now

Answer 6

I ended up getting that answer. Thank you!
