Question

What is the equation of a line, in point-slope form, that passes through (-2,-6) and has a slope of?

y+2=1/3 (x+6)
y+6=1/3 (x+2)
y 6=1/3(x-2)
y-2=1/3(x-6)

Answer 1

y+6=(1)/(3) (x+2)

Explanation:

substitute (-2,-6) until equality is found

y+6=(1)/(3) (x+2)

(-6)+6=(1)/(3) ((-2)+2)

0 = 1/3 (-2+2)

0 = 0
