Answer:

2/3 (0,-3) is one possible answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

y  -1 = 2/3(x-6)  We want to get this into the slope intercept form of a line.  We want it to be in the form y = mx + b.  Let's clear the fraction first by multiplying the whole equation through by 3.

3(y - 1) = 3[2/3(x - 6)]

3y -3 = 2(x -6)

3y - 3 = 2x -12

3y = 2x - 9  Now divide all the way through by 3 to get

y = 2/3x - 3  

y = mx + b.  The m part is the slope.  In this equation the slope is 2/3

There are in infinite amount of points on a line.  I do not know if they give you a picture or if you are just to create your own.  I am going to create a point that have x = 0.  I get to pick the point.  I could pick any number.  0 is just usually really easy.  So, if I substitute 0 for x I will get:

y = 2/3(0) - 3

y = 1  so my point is (0,-3)

Now that I think about it, I do not think that I would start out clearing the fraction even though it works.  I think that I would do it like this"

y - 1 = 2/3(x - 6)  Distribute the 2/3 through (x - 4) to get

y-1 = 2/3x -4  I can make -6 a fraction by putting it over 1.  Now we have 2/3(-6/1)  multiply across to get  -12/3.  A positive times a negative is a negative.  -12 divided by 3 is -4.

y - 1 = 2/3x -4   now add 1 to both sides.

y = 2/3x -3

Andrews [41]

I would do it this way

$780+$225=$1005

$1005/120ft= $8.375

if you have to round up $8.38 per foot

the straight line L has the equation 4y=5x+3. Point A has the coordinates (3,-2) Find the equation of the line straight line tha
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 4y = 5x + 3 into this form by dividing the 3 terms by 4

y = \frac{5}{4} x + \frac{3}{4} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{5}{4}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{5}{4} } = - \frac{4}{5} , thus

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - \frac{12}{5} + c ⇒ c = - 2 + \frac{12}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + \frac{2}{5} ← equation of perpendicular line
