Question

I don’t understand why this is wrong. Can anyone please correct my mistake? Thanks

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First off, write the equation in slope intercept form.

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

(3, 0) is the x intercept, so when we go up 2 and left 3 (opposite of the slope, since we want to find the y-intercept), we get a y-intercept of 2.

Now, you put this equation into point-slope form.

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

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

2 represents
`y_(1)`, and the 0 will represent
`x_(1)`. This is because when you plug in 0 for x, you get 2 as the result.

So, the equation should be:

`y - 2 = -(2)/(3) (x + 0)`

Hope this helps!
