Q. What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,2) and has a slope of −23 ?Answer:
Identify Slope-Intercept Form: Identify the slope-intercept form of a line's equation.The slope-intercept form of a line's equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Find Y-Intercept: Use the given slope and point to find the y-intercept b. We have the slope m as −23 and a point (2,2) through which the line passes. We can substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to find b. Using the point (2,2), we get: 2=−23×2+b2=−3+bb=2+3b=5
Write Line Equation: Write the equation of the line using the slope and y-intercept.Now that we have the slope m=−23 and the y-intercept b=5, we can write the equation of the line.The equation is y=−23x+5.
