Question

Please help and provide an explanation for why the answer is f(x) = -1/3x - 4

What is the equation of the line that passes through Point (-6, -2) and has a Slope of -1/3.

Answer 1

y=-1/3-4

Explanation:

point slope form!

y-y=m(x-x)

with the point (-6,-2) and the slope (-1/3) replace the 2nd variables of each variable and replace m with the slope

y-(-2)=-1/3(x-(-6))

then solve that normally

y-(-2)=-1/3(x-(-6))

y+2=-1/3x -2

y=-1/3x-4

I didnt use officially math symbols but i hope you can still read it!
