Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through point (-2,1)?
​

Answer 1

The equation would be y - 1 = 1/3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we simply plug the values we have into point slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

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

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Slope = m = 1/3

(-2 , 1)

`y - y_(1)= m(x - x_(1))\\y - 1 = (1)/(3)(x -[-2] )\\\\y - 1 = (1)/(3)(x + 2)\\\\y - 1 =(1)/(3)x + (1)/(3)*2\\\\y=(1)/(3)x+(2)/(3)+1\\\\y=(1)/(3)x +(2)/(3)+(3)/(3)\\\\y=(1)/(3)x +(5)/(3)`
