Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,4) and has a slope of {2}{3}?

Answer 1

y - 4 = 2/3(x - 6)

OR

y = 2/3x

Explanation:

1. Use point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y1 = y coordinate in point

x1 = x coordinate in point

m = Slope

2. Substitute:

y - 4 = 2/3(x - 6)

3. Solve for y (if necessary)

y = 2/3x - 4 + 4

y = 2/3x
