Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,3) and has a slope

of -1/3? ANSWER NEEDED ASAP!!

Answer 1

Answer:
`y = -(1)/(3)x + 5\\\\`

Work Shown:

`y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - 3 = -(1)/(3)(x - 6)\\\\y - 3 = -(1)/(3)x + (1)/(3)*6\\\\y - 3 = -(1)/(3)x + 2\\\\y = -(1)/(3)x + 2+3\\\\y = -(1)/(3)x + 5\\\\`

This line has a y intercept of 5, which means (0,5) is on the graph along with (6,3). The line moves downhill when moving left to right, because the slope is negative.
