Question

Writing an Equation in Slope-Intercept Form
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that has a slope of One-third and passes through the point (-6, 0).
y = one-third x
y = one-third x minus 6
y = one-third x minus 2
y = one-third x + 2

Answer 1

y = (1/3)x + 2

Work: y = mx + b, m = 1/3. Plug in (-6,0): 0 = (1/3)(-6) + b = -2 + b, so b = 2.
