Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (−6,6) and (−3,7)?

Answer 1

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

`x - 3y = - 24`

Explanation:

`m = (7 - 6)/( - 3 - ( - 6)) = (1)/(3)`

`6 = (1)/(3) ( - 6) + b`

`6 = - 2 + b`

`b = 8`

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

`3y = x + 24`

`- x + 3y = 24`

`x - 3y = - 24`
