Question

Graph a line that contains the point (-7,-4)and has a slope of - 2/3

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

Given the information, we can write an equation in slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b) to graph the line:

Plug in the slope for 'm', the y-coordinate of the point given for 'y', and the

x-coordinate given for 'x':

-4 = -2/3(-7) + b

-4 = 14/3 + b

Solve for b:

-12/3 = 14/3 + b

-12/3 - 14/3 = b

-26/3 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2/3x - 26/3 (Graphed below)

Some points on the line include:

(-7, -4)

(-4, -6)

(0, -26/3)

(2, -10)

(5, -12)
