Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form with the given slope through the given point: slope=8/3, (-2,-7)

Answer 1

y = mx + c ( equation of a line)

m = slope = 8/3

points x = -2 , y = -7

substitute the values

-7 = 8/3 * -2 + c

-7 = -16/3 + c

-7 + 16/3 = c

-21 + 16
--------- = c
3

-5/3 = c

therefore equation of line

y = 8/3x -5/3
