Question

The line passes through the point (4,7) and has a slope that is reciprocal of the slope of the line y=1/3x+2

point slope form and slope intercept form pls​

Answer 1

first you have to change 1/3 to -3

y=-3x+2

then you have to replace 2 with 'b' because you don't know the y intercept yet

y=-3x+b

then you substitute the point (4,7) into the equation

7= -3(4) + b

7= -12 + b

19 = b

y = -3x + 19 is the equation in slope intercept form

for point slope form:

-3x is still the slope and you replace x and y with the point 4,7

y- 7= -3 (x-4)
