Question

1Write the equation of the line which passes through (1, 2) and with slope of -1/3 in standardform.

Answer 1

The standard form is given by:

`Ax+By=C`

Using the data provided and the slope point equation:

`\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-2=-(1)/(3)(x-1) \\ y-2=-(1)/(3)x+(1)/(3) \\ (1)/(3)x+y=(7)/(3) \end{gathered}`
