Question

Write an equation for the line that has a slope of -2/3 and goes through the point (-6,8)

Answer 1

y = (-2/3)x + 4

Explanation:

the equation of a line is given by the formula y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

so,

y = (-2/3)x + b

to find b we plug in the values of x and y given by the point (-6,8)

8 = 4 + b

b = 4

so y = (-2/3)x + 4
