Question

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3 <-----thats a fraction

Answer 1

you got any ideas?

Answer 2

@alekos Not a clue, I was doing it all wrong and now im stuck

Answer 3

you need to express in the form y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

does that help?

Answer 4

@alekos these are my choices... Im thinking B
A. x - y + 2 = 0
B. x + y - 2 = 0
C. x - y - 2 = 0

Answer 5

my mistake, has to be in general form

Ax + By + C = 0

slope would be - A/B in this case you're given 1/3 so A would be -1 and B would be 3

so none of the choices are valid
