Question

A line has the same slope as the line 3x+9y=5 and passes though the point (-1,2).what is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the equation. Simply put it is y = -1/3x + 5/9.

So, we have our slope which is -1/3. Now just plug it in.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1/3(x - (-1))

Distribute.

y - 2 = -1/3x - 1/3

Add 2 to both sides

you get y=-1/3x + 5/3
