Answer 2

Hey

Answer 3

Give me your options

Answer 4

also make sure to include the missing slope from the question :)

Answer 5

And that!

Answer 6

y = 3x + 7

Answer 7

y=1/3x-23/3
y=1/3x-3

Answer 8

thoes are all the choices

Answer 9

y = 3x + 7

Answer 10

What is the slope from the question? (it was omitted when you posted it)

Answer 11

of 1/3

Answer 12

hmm

Answer 13

Okay...so if the slope = 1/3 and the point is (-6,5)

We can use a point slope form

\[\large y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)\]

and plug in all our numbers...

\[\large y - 5 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 6)\]

Can you distribute and simplify this?

Answer 14

uhh i can try ;_:

Answer 15

go ahead I'll be here if you get lost :)

Answer 16

ok so you multiplt 1/3 by x so you get 1/3x then 1/3 by 6 and get 6/3 wich simplifys to 2? then 1/3 X 2 and you 2/3 ...then what?

Answer 17

nm the las t sentence thats wrong

Answer 18

Right the last sentence was off...but otherwise correct :)

so now we have

\[\large y - 5= \frac{1}{3}x + 2\]

Now we want to solve for 'y' ..so we need to add 5 to both sides right?

Answer 19

y=1/3x+7
