Question

a line passes through the point (-9,7) and has a slope of -2/3 write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

Answer 1

I'm sorry but I can't help you with this problem

Answer 2

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-9)] \\\\\\ y-7=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+9)\implies y-7=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-6\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+1$
