Q. What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,3) and has a slope of 23 ?Answer:
Identify slope and point: Identify the slope m and the point (x1,y1) through which the line passes.The slope m is given as 23, and the point is (6,3).
Use point-slope form: Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to start solving for the equation.The point-slope form is: y−y1=m(x−x1), where (x1,y1) is the point the line passes through.
Substitute slope and point: Substitute the slope (23) and the point (6,3) into the point-slope form.y−3=23(x−6)
Distribute slope: Distribute the slope (23) on the right side of the equation.y−3=23x−23×6y−3=23x−9
Add to solve for y: Add 3 to both sides of the equation to solve for y in terms of x.y=23x−9+3y=23x−6
