Question

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point -3 -1?

Answer 1

Answer: y= -2x/3 -3

Explanation:

Substitute the x and y values from the given coordinate into the slope-intercept formula and solve for b

y = mx + b

-1 = -2/3(-3) + b

-1 = 2 + b

-1 -2 = b

-3 = b The y-intercept is -3

the equation: y = -2x/3 - 3
