Question

A line passes through the point (6,-3) and has a slope of -3/2 write an equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = - $\frac{3}{2}$, hence

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (6, - 3 ) into the partial equation

- 3 = - 9 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 9 = 6

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6 ← equation in slope- intercept form
