What is the equation of the following line written in slope-intercept form?
y = x - 13/3
y = x - 13/3
y = -x - 13/3

What is the equation of the following line written in slopeintercept form y x 133 y x 133 y x 133 class=

The slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m - slope

b - y-intercept.

From equations that have a choice we have y-intercept

[tex]b=-\dfrac{13}{3}[/tex]

We haave the point (-5, -1). Put the coordinates of the point to the equation of a line:

[tex]y=mx-\dfrac{13}{3}[/tex]

[tex]-1=-5m-\dfrac{13}{3}[/tex]               multiply both sides by 3

[tex]-3=-15m-13[/tex]           add 13 to both sides

[tex]10=-15m[/tex]            divide both sides by (-15)

[tex]m=-\dfrac{10}{15}\\\\m=-\dfrac{10:5}{15:5}\\\\m=-\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer: [tex]\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}}[/tex]
