Question

Write the equation of a line that passes through ( 4, 6), and has a slope of 1/3

Answer 1

y = 1/3x + 14/3

Explanation:

y = mx + b

we know the slope, so the equation would be --> y = 1/3x + b

Now we plug in the coordinates of the given point (4, 6) the line goes through, and solve for b:

y = 1/3x + b

6 = 1/3(4) + b

6 = 4/3 + b

-4/3 -4/3

----------------

14/3 = b
