Question

A line passes through the point (6, 1) and has a slope of of - 3/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line. ​

Answer 1

y=-3/2x+10

Explanation:

Plug in the point and the slope to the point-slope form equation (y-y1=m(x-x1)), getting y-1=-3/2(x-6). Simplify. y-1=-3/2x+9. Add one to both sides to isolate y, therefore giving you slope-intercept form.
