Question

a line with the slope of 1/3 passes through the points of (6,0). what is the equation in slope intercept form?​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for slope intercept form is y= mx + b.

m is the slope and b is where the line crosses the y-axis which is called the y-intercept.

to find the y-intercept plug in a coordinate on the line (6,0)

0 = 1/3(6) + b

then solve for b by first multiplying 1/3 by 6

0 = 2 + b

subtract 2 from both sides

-2 = b

and then you can plug b into the equation

y = 1/3x - 2
