A line passing through the point (12, –5) has a slope of One-third.
Complete the work shown:
1. Substitute known values for m, x1, and y1:
2. Distribute the slope through the parentheses:
3. Distribute the slope through the parentheses:
4. Solve for the y-variable:
y minus (negative 5) = one-third (x minus 12). Y + 5 = one-third (x minus 12). Y + 5 = one-third x minus 4.
