Question

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of 2/3 and passes through the point (1, 1). Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution. Please explain how you got the answer.

Answer 1

In this item, we are given with the slope, m = 2/3 and intercept of (1,1). The equation of the line that contains these properties is,

    y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Substituting the known values,

   y - 1 = (2/3)(x - 1)

Simplifying,

    3y - 3 = 2x - 2

Further simplifying,

  2x - 3y = -1
