How do I determine which is y=-1/3x+2?
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form which is
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The equation
Has a slope of -1/3 so this means that the slope will be decreasing. A negative linear equation increases as we go left. and decreases as we go right. The y intercept is 2. So this means the graph must pass through (0,2) and when x=0, y must be 2.
In other words, look for a line that the y values increase as we go left and decrease we go right. Also look for a point (0,2) and make sure the graph pass through it.

Answer:
y + 2 = (x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
y - 4 = (x - 3) ← is in point- slope form
with slope m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus equation of parallel line
with m = and (a, b) = Q(1, - 2) is
y - (- 2) = (x - 1) , that is
y + 2 = (x - 1)
