HELP PLEASEEEE

A line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (-3, 8). What is the equation of the line?


O y= - 2/3 • + 6
O y= - 2/3 •+8
O y= 6•- 2/3
O y = 8•-2/3

Answer:

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m = -2/3

The point is used to find b in the general equation.

x = - 3

y = 8

8 = -2/3 * - 3 + b

8 = 2 + b Subtract 2 from both sides.

8 - 2 = b

b = 6

None of the answers are what they should be.

The answer is y = -2/3 x + 6

You have to mean the dot = x for a to be right. So I'll pick A or the first choice.
