Question

A line passes through the point (6,3) and has a slope of -5/2 write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

Answer 1

The equation of a line is y = mx +c

m, the slope, is -5/2

x, from the point, is 6

y, from the point is 3

equation: 3= -5/2(6) + c

3= -30/2 +c

18 = c

y = -5/2 (x) + 18
