Question

Write the equation for a line with a slope of 1/3 that passes through the point 6,12

Answer 1

y-12=1/3(x-6)

Explanation:

Using the slope intercept form:

`y - yo = m(x - xo)`

We can see from the given point (6,12) that yo = 12 and xo = 6. The slope, m, is 1/3. Plugging in the values gives us this equation in slope-intercept form that can then be converted to any other form.
