Answer:
5x +y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
Your point and slope make this ...
y -6 = -5(x -2)
y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (0,6)
We want to write the equation of this line; there are 3 forms of the line that we can use:
All though while writing the equation of the line in any of these ways is acceptable, the most common way is to write it in slope-intercept form, so let's do it that way.
As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute m with that value.
Replace m with -2/3:
y = -2/3x + b
Now we need to find b.
As the equation passes through the point (0, 6), we can use it to help solve for b.
Substitute 0 as x and 6 as y.
6 = -2/3(0) + b
Multiply
6 = 0 + b
Add
6 = b
Substitute 6 as b.
y = -2/3x + 6
