Question

What is an equation of a line in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 6 = (1/3)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

... y - k = m(x - h)

Fill in the numbers you are given for slope and point.

... y -(-6) = (1/3)(x -(-2))

Simplify the double negatives:

... y + 6 = (1/3)(x + 2)
