Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (4, 0) and has a slope of -2/3

Answer 1

Since the slope is -2/3 the line will have the following equation y=(-2/3)x+B where we have to identify the constant B. Since the line will pass through the point (4,0) we have 0=-8/3+B or B=8/3. Therefore, the line will have the equation y=(-2/3)x+8/3.
