Question

Please help me i dont understand! thank you

Answer 1

Part a)

We need to find the point-slope form of the equation of the line with a slope of -1/3 and passing through the point (6,-4)

Part b)

The information that we have; we know the value of he slope, -1/3, and a point the line passes through (6,-4).

Part c)

strategies to use;

we can use the standard form of the equation of a straight line in point- slope form;

y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)

Part d)

We have been given the slope is -1/3, thus the value of m is -1/3. Moreover, we have a point (6,-4) and thus x_1 = 6 while y_1 = -4

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

Part e)

Final answer

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