Find the general equation of the straight line passing through the point (-2, 3) with slope 1/3
Added by Eddie B.
Step 1
We are given that the slope m = 1/3. We also know that the line passes through the point (-2, 3). We can substitute these values into the equation to find the y-intercept c. So, 3 = (1/3)(-2) + c => 3 = -2/3 + c => c = 3 + 2/3 => c = 9/3 + 2/3 => c = 11/3 Show more…
