Question

How do you write the equation of a line that passes through (-6, 1) with a slope of 1/3?

Answer 1

`y=1/3x+3`

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line of slope `" "a" "`passing through
`" "`
`(x_0,y_0)` is:
`" "`
`y-y_0=a(x-x_0)`
`" "`
`rArr y - 1=1/3(x+6)`
`" "`
`rArry-1=1/3x+6/3`
`" "`
`rArry=1/3x+2+1`
`" "`
`rArry=1/3x+3`
