a) Write an equation of a line in point slope form given the slope -2/3 and the point (-3,2). b) Write an equation in slope intercept form through the points (3,-3) and (2,0) c) write an equation based on this model. Gas cost $4.00 per gallon. If someone paid a startup fee of 5.00, write an equation in slope intercept form based on this model in y = mx+b

Answer:


y-2\text{ = -}(2)/(3)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the equation of a line in point-slope form

Mathematically, we have that as:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m, which is the slope is -2/3 and (x1,y1) which is the point is (-3,2)

Substituting the values, we have it that:


y-2\text{ = -}(2)/(3)(x+3)
