Question

Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the point -3, 2 and having slope m= 2/3?

A. y-2=2/3(x+3)
B. y=2/3x
C. 2x-3y=-12
D. y=2/3x+4

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) y - 2 = 2/3(x + 3)

Explanation:

In order to find this, we start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Then we input the slope as m and the point in at x1 and y1.

y - 2 = 2/3(x + 3)
