Question

Write an equation of a line in point-slope form that goes through the point (-7, -2) with aslope of 2/3

Answer 1

Given:

$\text{slope(m)}=\frac{2}{3};(x_1,y_1)=(-7,-2)$

Equation of line is,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$y+2=\frac{2}{3}(x+7)$$y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{14}{3}-2$$y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}$
