Question

Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line with the given slope that passes through the point with the given coordinates

slope: 7/9
ordered pair: (0,-8/9)

Answer 1

the general equation of a straight line is y=mx+c

m is the slope and is given 7/9 we can plug in the point to get c.

now we wil have

`( -8 )/(9) = (7)/(9) (0) + c \\ c = ( - 8)/(9)`

`y = (7)/(9) x - ( 8)/(9)`
