Question

What is an equation of a line, in point-slope form, that passes through (1,-7) and has a slope of -2/3?

Answer 1

Answer: y + 7 = -2/3 (x - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point - slope form is given as :

$y-y_{1}$ = m($x-x_{1}$ )

Where m is the slope and ($x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$) is the given point

substituting the values into the formula , we have:

y - (-7) = -2/3 ( x - 1)

y + 7 = -2/3(x - 1 )
