Question

What is the equation of a line passing through (-6, 5) and having a slope of ?

Answer 1

the slope was 1 over 3

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

What's the slope?

Answer 4

1/3?

Answer 5

y=mx+b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
y=1/3 x + b
Now since you know the slope graph the equation and see wher it intersects the y axis

Answer 6

and plug it in as b

Answer 7

Or use the point-slope form of the equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=1/3,
point P(x1,y1)=(-6,5)

Answer 8

Since you are given the slope of this line and one point on the line, use the"point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:"\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 9

See mathmate's presentation above; it is correct. Finish this work, please. Simplify the resulting equation as much as possible. Prefered final form is y=mx+b.
