To find the slope of the line, first find the slope of 3x + y = 5, and then its opposite reciprocal.

3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
the slope of 3x + y = 5 is -3.

the slope is -3, so the opposite reciprocal slope is 1/3.

the equation of any line is y = ax + b
to find this line, y = 3, x = -9, and the slope is 1/3.

3 = -9a + b
3 = -9 (1/3) + b
3 = -3 +b
b = 6

substitute a and b into the equation
y = ax + b
y = 1/3x + 6

the equation of the line is y = 1/3x + 6.

Find the equation of the line.
hoa [83]

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, find two points and use the rise over run.

Some points you can use are (0, 3) and (1, 6)

The rise is 3 and the run is 1.

3/1 = 1.

The slope is 3.

To find the y-intercept, find the point where x = 0.

(0, 3)

The y-intercept is 3.

Now you can write an equation.

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=3x+3
