Question

Using graph paper, determine the line described by the given point and slope. Click to show the correct graph below.

(0, -2) and -2/3

Answer 1

Since you are given 1 point on the line and the slope of this line, it'd make sense to start with the general "point-slope equation of a straight line." This is y=mx+b.

Substitute the coordinate values x and y into this equation, along with the given slope.

Solve the resulting equation for the y-intercept, b.

Then write out the equation for this line in the form = mx + b.
