Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-6,0) and (-2,-3) in point slope form. Then, convert this equation into slope intercept form. Simplify your answers when necessary.

Answer 1

Point slope form: y - 0 =
`(3)/(-4)`(x + 6)

Slope intercept form: y =
`(3)/(-4)`x - 6

Explanation:

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

`(0 + 3)/(-6 + 2)` =
`(3)/(-4)`

y - 0 =
`(3)/(-4)`(x + 6)
