Question

Find the equation of this line (-3,0) (0 1)

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-0}{0-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{1}{0+3}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=\cfrac{1}{3}[x-(-3)] \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{3}(x+3)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+1`
