Question

A line passes through the point (-6,1) and has a slope of -5/2

Write an equation in slope - intercept form for this line .

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=-(5)/(2)x+16`

Explanation:

The equation in point-slope form is
`y-1=-(5)/(2)(x+6)`. To find the equation in slope-intercept form, isolate
`y`.

`y-1=-(5)/(2)(x-6)\\\\y-1=-(5)/(2)x+15\\\\y=-(5)/(2)x+16`
