Question

A Iine passes through the point (9,-8) and has a slope of
2/3. Write an equation in point-slope form for this line.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2/3x + b

(Find b first with the steps below)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y = mx + b and m is the slope. You were already given the slope and you were even given a point. All you have to do is graph the point and use the slope until it intercepts the y-axis.

1. Plot the point (9,-8)
2. Go up 2, left 3 spots until the line hits the y-axis (the vertical one)
3. That point is what b will be equal to in y = mx + b
