y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the , , and in the formula to do so.

The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:

$\begin{gathered} c=\frac{a}{a^2+b^2} \\ d=\frac{-b}{a^2+b^2} \end{gathered}$

Explanation

$\frac{1}{a+bi}=c+di$

Step 1

multiplicate by the conjugate

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{a+bi}\cdot\frac{a-bi}{a+bi}=\frac{a-bi}{(a+bi)(a-bi)}=\frac{a-bi}{a^2-(bi)^2} \\ \frac{1}{a+bi}\cdot\frac{a-bi}{a+bi}=\frac{a-bi}{(a+bi)(a-bi)}=\frac{a-bi}{a^2-(-b^2)}=\frac{a-bi}{a^2+b^2} \end{gathered}$

notice that

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{a+bi}=\frac{a-bi}{a^2+b^2}=\frac{a}{a^2+b^2}-\frac{b}{a^2+b^2}i \\ \frac{a}{a^2+b^2}-\frac{b}{a^2+b^2}i=c+di \\ so \\ \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} c=\frac{a}{a^2+b^2} \\ d=\frac{-b}{a^2+b^2} \end{gathered}$
