Question

Find the equation of the line, in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-6,5) and has slope 1/3

Answer 1

y = x/3 + 7

Explanation:

Use the equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Plug in the given values into the equation:

y - 5 = (1/3)(x + 6)

Simplify the right side:

y - 5 = (x/3) + 2

Finally, add 5 to both sides:

y = x/3 + 7
