Equations of lines

Question

a line has a slope of -1/3 and passes thriugh the point (7,1). what is the equation in point slope form

Answer 1

Hi Amaya C

Point Slope Form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

For your line with m = -1/3 passing through the point (7, 1)

y - 1 = -1/3( x - 7)

I hope this helps.
