Question

Write the equation of the line with a slope of -1/3 and passing through the point (6, -4)

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

Same thing.

Answer 3

\(\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

Where \(\sf y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(\sf x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(\sf m\) is the slope.

Answer 4

I thought the equation for slope form was y=m(x) + b

Answer 5

so y- -4=-1/3(x-6)

Answer 6

but then don't the y--4 turn into y+4 @iGreen

Answer 7

yes it does because two negatives make a positive
