Question

Which equation describes the line with a slope of 2/3 that passes through the point

Answer 1

Option (a)

Given:

The value of slope is, m = -2/3.

Pass throught he point, (x1, y1) = (2,-3)

The objective is to find the equation of the line.

The general equation of straight line is,

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

Now, substitute the given values in the above equation.

`\begin{gathered} y-(-3)=-(2)/(3)(x-2) \\ y+3=-(2)/(3)(x-2) \end{gathered}`

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
