Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope m. Point Slope (- 5, - 7); m = 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 7 = 1/3 (x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The format for writing a point-slope equation is:  y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$

where, m = 1/3, x1 = -5 and y1 = -7

$y -( - 7) = \frac{1}{3} (x - ( - 5))$

$y + 7 = \frac{1}{3} (x + 5)$

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{5}{3} + 7$

$y = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{26}{3}$

$y = \frac{1}{3} (x + 26)$
