Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (−3, 0) and has a slope of −1/3.

Question

Answer 1

Here is the point-slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

We're given m, the slope, as -¹/₃.

We're given (x₁, y₁) with the point (-3, 0). From here, it's just plugging the values in:

y - 0 = -¹/₃(x - (-3))

 

Now for cleaning up:

y = -¹/₃(x + 3)

Since you asked for the point-slope form of the equation, we're done.
