Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{3}x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (0,6)

We want to write the equation of this line; there are 3 forms of the line that we can use:

  • Slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
  • Standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be 0, and a cannot be negative
  • Slope-point form, which is y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point

All though while writing the equation of the line in any of these ways is acceptable, the most common way is to write it in slope-intercept form, so let's do it that way.

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute m with that value.

Replace m with -2/3:

y = -2/3x + b

Now we need to find b.

As the equation passes through the point (0, 6), we can use it to help solve for b.

Substitute 0 as x and 6 as y.

6 = -2/3(0) + b

Multiply

6 = 0 + b

Add

6 = b

Substitute 6 as b.

y = -2/3x + 6

Y=log(x-3)<br><br>what would be the base?
timurjin [86]
By definition, if :

a^y = b

y = log_a b

<span>We highlight the following elements:

</span><span>a = Base of the logarithm;
b = logarithmand or antilogarithm
y = logarithm</span><span>

Therefore:

</span><span>Note that since the base was not specified, we know that it is equal to 10.
</span>
y = log_a b
y = log_{10} (x-3)
10^y = (x-3)
<span>
Answer:

</span>Base of the logarithm = 10

Write an equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) for the graph below .
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b would be 0

your slope is rise/run. up one and over three. up one and over three. so 1/3

write it as y=1/3x+0, or y=1/3x
