Question

Write in the line in slope-intercept form given the slope of 1/3, through the point (-6,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

        y = ¹/₃x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A line passing through point (x₁, y₁) with the slope of m in point-slope form:

 y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

m = ¹/₃

(-6, 9)      x₁ = -6,  y₁ = 9

So:

y - 9 = ¹/₃(x - (-6))

y - 9 = ¹/₃(x + 6)     ←    point-slope form

y - 9 = ¹/₃x + 2        {add 9 to both sides}

y = ¹/₃x + 11        ←  slope intercept form
