The answer is 8/5.

When multiplying fractions you multiply the top numbers (Numerators) and then the bottom numbers (Denominators).

4 * 6 = 24, 3 * 5 = 15. So we have 24/15. We can simplify this since both 24 and 15 are divisible by 3. Divide both the top and bottom number by 3 to get 24/15 = 8/5.

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

Levart [38]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Step 1: Determine b by using the point (-6,-2), the given slope, and the slope intercept formula, y = mx + b.

$y = mx + b\\\\-2 = \frac{1}{6}(-6) + b\\\\-2 = -1 + b\\\\-1 = b$

Step 2: Now that we have b, we can determine the equation of the line.

$y = \frac{1}{6}x -1$

I didn't use + (-1) because b is negative. Therefore you need to change the equation from y = 1/6x + (-1) to y = 1/6x - 1.
