Question

A line with a slope of -1/12 passes through the point (0, 11). What is its equation in slope-intercept form ?

Answer 1

Y = -1/12 x + 11

Explanation:

Start with point (0,11) slope ( -1/12) form :

(y-11) = -1/12 (x-0)

re-arrange to slope intercept form just by adding 11 to both sides

y = -1/12 x + 11

Answer 2

y = -1/12x + 11

Explanation:

An ordered pair is the form (x,y) Us the x and y from the point and the slope to find the y intercept and then you can write the equation.

Use o for x and 11 and or y and - 1/12 for m

y = mx + b

11 = (-1/12)(0) + b

11 = b

y = -1/12x + 11
