Can someone please explain how this slope equation was obtained for this double integral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand where $$ x + 3y = 7 $$ comes from (which is used to get the upper bound of the inside integral)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know for the slope equation, I have: $$ y - y_0 = m(x-x_0) $$ which comes out to $$ (-1) = m(3)\ \ => \ \ m = -\frac{1}{3} $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is about all i can understand it is the equation of the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I guess I could plug that into $$ y = mx + b $$ $$ y = -\frac{x}{3} + b $$ $$ b = \frac{x}{3} + y $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$$ y = mx + b $$ $$ y - b = mx $$ $$ y - b = -\frac{1}{3} x$$ $$ 3y - 3b = -x $$ $$ -3y +3b = -x $$ $$ 3b = -x + 3y $$ $$ b = -\frac{x}{3} + y $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seems to be no matter what way I do it, I can't get the slope equation to equal $$ x+3y = b $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you arrive at \[-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$$ (y- y_0) = m(x-x_0) $$ $$ (1 - 2) = m (4 - 1)$$ $$ (-1) = m(3) $$ $$ m = -\frac{1}{3} $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x-1)\] \[-3y+6=x-1\] \[x+3y=7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANK. YOU.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the simple parts of math that always get me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw loathe calc 3, like finding equations of lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, it is always that damned algebra!!
