Question

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of 2/3 and passes through the point (1, 1).

Answer 1

@amorfide

Answer 2

okay so you know m=2/3
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
can you do this and we will work from there?

Answer 3

???

Answer 4

let's try a different approach
you have m=2/3
m is the slope btw
and you know the y value from the coordinates given y=1

you have a line
\[y=\frac{ 2 }{3 }x + b\]

Answer 5

\[1=\frac{ 2 }{3 }x + b\]

Answer 6

you know x=1 too
sub that in and work out b

Answer 7

\[1=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }(1) + b\]

Answer 8

is that more clearer?

Answer 9

So how do I put it into standard form?
