Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 4) and has a

slope of – 2/3?

Answer 1

y = -2/3x + 6

Explanation:

Create our equation.

y = -2/3x + b

Since the point is (3, 4), we substitute those values.

4 = -2/3(3) + b

4 = -2 + b

Add 2 on both sides.

b = 6

Now that we have b, substitute b in our initial equation.

y = -2/3x + 6
