Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point(6,4) and has a slope of -2/3

Answer 1

y=-2/3x+8

Explanation:

first, find the y intercept, or b.

write your equation so far: y = -2/3x + b

Now substitute in your given point (6,4)

so now we got: 4 = -2/3(6) + b

which gives you: 4 = -4 + b

Now, we find b.

4 = -4 + b

+4 +4 < isolating b...

8 = b

now put it back in..

y=-2/3x+b

hope this helped luv <3
