Question

Find an equation of a line containing the point (-6,3) and has slope - 1/3

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b         [multiply]

3=2+b                   [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.
