Question

Line m passes through the point (-5,4) And has a slope of 1/3 What is the equation of the line m in standard form?

Answer 1

y-1/3x=17/3

Explanation:

ax+by=c is standard form

first I'll start with slope interecept form and then we can change it to standard

y=mx+b

y=1/3x+b

4=1/3(-5)+b

4=-5/3+b

12/3+5/3=b

17/3=b

y=1/3x+17/3

to change to standard

y-1/3x=17/3
