Chapter 8.6, Problem 3MRE

To determine

To Find: The equation in slope intercept form for the line.

Answer to Problem 3MRE

  $y=\frac{1}{3}x-4$

Explanation of Solution

Given: Slope $\frac{1}{3}$ , $y$ intercept - $(-4)$

Given:Slope $\frac{1}{3}$ , $y$ intercept - $(-4)$

Slope intercept form: $y=mx+b$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=mx+b\\ y=\frac{1}{3}(x)-4\\ y=\frac{1}{3}x-4\end{array}$

Hence, the equation of the line is $y=\frac{1}{3}x-4$
