m=2/3,(3,-1)

Question

write an equation in slope-intercept form with a slope of 2/3 and passes though the point (3,-1)

 

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

 

We can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to accomplish this:

 

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀) , where m = the slope and (x₀, y₀) is a point on the line.

 

I'll get you started:

 

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

 

Can you now write this in slope-intercept, or y = mx + b form?
