Question

Slope = -1/6; (12,-2)

Answer 1

Equation is y = -1/6x

Explanation:

• Step 1: Given that slope, m = -1/6 and a coordinate (12,-2). Write the equation and find the y-intercept, b.

⇒ y = mx + b

⇒ -2 = -1/6 × 12 + b

⇒ -2 = -2 + b

∴ b = 0

• Step 2: Write the equation in slope intercept form.

⇒ y = -1/6x + 0

⇒ y = -1/6x
