Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (1,-5); slope: - 2/3 SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM​

Answer 1

Answer:

y  =   $-\frac{2}{3}$ x -  $-\frac{13}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given dimensions:

   Slope  = $-\frac{2}{3}$  

  Coordinates  = (1, -5)

Now;

 Equation of the line through the given points;

   

Solution:

 The equation of a line is given as;

          y  = mx + c

x and y are the coordinates

m is the slope

c is the intercept

 So;

  let us find the y-intercept;

           -5  =  $-\frac{2}{3}$   x 1 + C

             c  = -5 + $\frac{2}{3}$  = $-\frac{13}{3}$

The equation of the line is ;

  y  =   $-\frac{2}{3}$ x -  $-\frac{13}{3}$
