Question

How do you write an equation of a line with slope -2/3 and x intercept at 3?

Answer 1

`y = -2/3x +2`

Explanation:

The equation of a line can be written as `y = mx +c`

`m =`slope and `c` = y-intercept

The point at the `x-`intercept has coordinates `(3,0)`

In `y = mx+c`

`0=-2/3(3) + c`

`0 = -2 +c`

`2= c`

The equation is `y = -2/3x +2`
