Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−11,−13) with slope -2/3 ​ .

Answer 1

y + 13 = -
`(2)/(3)` (x + 11)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = -
`(2)/(3)` and (a, b ) = (- 11, - 13 ) , then

y - (- 13) = -
`(2)/(3)` (x - (- 11) ) , that is

y + 13 = -
`(2)/(3)` (x + 11)
