Question

Passes through (1, 2) with slope -5/3

Write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope,
or standard form for the line with the given information. Explain why you chose the form that you used.

Answer 1

Point slope would be
y-2=-5/3(x-1).
Now we can convert to slope intercept.
y-2=-5/3x+5/3
+2 on both sides
y=-5/3x + 2 5/3
\[-\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }x + 2 \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\]

Now convert from slope intercept to standard form.
y=-5/3 + 2 5/3
I would multiply by 3 to clear out the denominator of the x.
3y=-5x+11
Add 5x over
5x+3y=11

Wow, thank you so much!
