What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,6) and has a slope of -1/3
1 answer:
Please consult the "Calculations" section of this ans .
The information we're given is below :
- slope : -1/3
- Point crossed by the line : (3, 6)
As per given information , we can do the following :
- Write the line's equation in point slope form
Point - slope form looks like so :
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-6=-1/3(x-3)
y-6=-1/3x+1
y=-1/3x+1+7
y=-1/3x+6

The equation that shows how the total number of cups of ice used, y, depends on the number of glasses filled, x, is
Filling the cooler is an illustration of a linear function
A linear function is represented as:
Where
- m represents the slope/rate
- b represents the y-intercept/the initial value
- x and y are the variables
By comparison, we have the following parameters
--- the amount of cups per ice
---- the initial amount of cup
So, the equation that represents this scenario is
