Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-4) and has a slope of 1/3

Answer 1

`y=(1)/(3)x-2`

Explanation:

Given the information, we can use the point-slope form to find the equation for the line:
`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))`

`y-(-4)=(1)/(3)x(x-(-6) )`

Isolating y and combining like terms gives us
`y=(1)/(3)x-2`
