Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (1,0) , (6,-3) ... y-(-3)= ?

Answer 1

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (1,0) , (6,-3) ... y-(-3)= ?

Please comment or send a message about whether there is a typo in the question here. See below:

Assuming that y-(-3)= ? means y(-3) = ? THEN:

Slope m = -3 - 0 / 6 - 1

m = -3 / 5

Equation is y2 - y1 = m (x2 - x1)

y - 0 = (-3/5)(x - 1) using the point (1,0)

y = (-3/5)x + 3/5

or 5y = -3x + 3

y(-3) is the point (-3,y)

5y = (-3*-3) + 3

5y = 9 + 3

5y = 12

y = 12/5

y = 2 2/5

y = 2.4 is the answer that you seek.
