Exercise 20 Page 91

You are given everything you need to use point-slope form.

y=2/3x-6

Practice makes perfect

Using the given point and slope, we can apply the point-slope form to write and graph the equation. We will start by writing the equation. An equation in point-slope form follows a specific format. y- y_1= m(x- x_1) In this format, m represents the slope and the point ( x_1, y_1) lies on the graph of the line. We are given the point ( 3, - 4) and the slope 23, so we have everything we need to create a point-slope form equation.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
y-( - 4)= 2/3(x- 3)
y+4=2/3(x-3)
â–¼
Simplify
y+4=2/3x-2/3(3)
y+4=2/3x-2* 3/3
y+4=2/3x-2/1
y+4=2/3x-2
y=2/3x-6
