Question

What equation models the line that goes through the point (12,3) and has a slope of3(4) U-YВya-1043T©1-

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given the point (12,3) and a slope of -1/3, the equation of the line can be gotten using the formula below.

`m=(y-y_1)/(x-x_1)`

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(3)=(y-3)/(x-12) \\ -x+12=3y-9 \\ 3y=-x+12+9 \\ 3y=-x+21 \\ y=(-x+21)/(3) \\ y=-(x)/(3)+_{}7 \end{gathered}`

Answer

`y=-(x)/(3)+7`
