Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 4) and has a slope

of - 2/3?

Answer 1

Answer: y= - 2/3x+6

Explanation:

Just plug in values into this equation (slope intercept form)

y=mx+b

3 is x value

4 is y value

m is the slope which is - 2/3

So after you plug in the values, solve for b ("b" is the y intercept):

4=-2/3(3)+b

4=-2+b

b=6

Then add in the b value into your equation and you will get y= - 2/3x+6
