Question

write the equation of the line that passes through the given points expressed in slope-intercept form. m=2/3, (-4,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{23}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line with a point and a slope, use the point-slope form of a linear equation. Substitute m = 2/3 and the point (-4,5) into the equation.

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y - 5 = \frac{2}{3}(x --4)\\y - 5 = \frac{2}{3}(x+4)$

Convert to slope intercept form by using the distributive property.

$y - 5 = \frac{2}{3}(x+4)\\y - 5 = \frac{2}{3}x +\frac{8}{3}\\y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{8}{3} + 5\\y = \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{23}{3}$
