Question

How do you write y-2=-1/3(x-7)

Answer 1

y= -1/3 + 13/3

Explanation:

y-2=-1/3(x-7)

Use the distributive property to simplify the right side of the equation

y-2=(-1/3 * x) + (-1/3 * -7)

y-2=-1/3x + 7/3

Add 2 to both sides get the y by itself. 2 can be expressed as 6/3

(y-2) + 2=(-1/3x + 7/3) + 6/3

y= -1/3x + 13/3
