Question

a line with a slope of -1/9 passes through point (9,-1). What is its equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \orange{y = - \frac{1}{9} x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

From the question we have

$y + 1 = - \frac{1}{9} (x - 9) \\ y + 1 = - \frac{1}{9} x + 1 \\ y = - \frac{1}{9} x + 1 - 1$

We have the final answer as

$y = - \frac{1}{9} x$

Hope this helps you
