Question

Which equation of a line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through 0-1

Answer 1

`y=-(2)/(3) x-1`

Explanation:

The equation for a line with slope m=-2/3 through point (0,-1) can be written in three forms: standard, slope-intercept, and point-slope. Slope-intercept is most common and since (0,-1) is the y-intercept we will choose that equation form.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is the y-intercept value. Here m=-2/3 and y-intercept is -1.

We write it as
`y=-(2)/(3)x-1`.
