Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (3, −2) and has a slope of 2/3? Drag and drop the appropriate number, symbol, or variable to each box.

Answer 1

y + 2 = 2/3(x - 3)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 2/3

Point (3, -2)

Step 2: Write Equation

Plug in variables into general form.

y + 2 = 2/3(x - 3)
