parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
.
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.
<u>Answer:</u>
The equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line passes through (-2, -6) and has slope of 1/3
We have to find the equation of the line
The point slope form is given as
where m is the slope of the line and a, b are the x, y coordinates of the given point through which the line passes.
Here in this question, m = 1/3 and a = -2 and b = -6
By substituting in point slope form we get,
Hence the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is
