Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through point (-2, 1)?

y=1/3x-1
y=1/3x+5/3
y=1/3×-5/3
y=1/3x+1
​

Answer 1

In order to find this, we simply plug the values we have into point slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

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

The equation would be y - 1 = 1/3(x + 2)

Hope this helps you
