## anonymous 4 years ago Write the equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of one-third and passes through the point (-6, 0). A. y minus 0 equals one-third times the quantity x plus 6 B. y minus 0 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 6 C. y plus 6 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 0 D. y minus 6 equals one-third times the quantity x minus 0

Hi! you want an equation of the form$y = m(x - x_o)+ y_o$

2. anonymous

Your know that $m = \frac{1}{3}$

3. anonymous

and $(x_0,y_0)=(-6,0)$

4. anonymous

So you just need tu plug those values into the equation, so: $y = \frac{1}{3}(x-(-6))+0$

5. anonymous

Simplifying you get: $y = \frac{1}{3}x+2$

6. anonymous

none of those answers are on here

7. anonymous

i'm so confused

8. anonymous

wait a minute.

9. anonymous

Look carefully, the answer is there.

10. anonymous

it doesn't have that available in the answer choices

11. anonymous

yes it is available.

12. anonymous

okay then , i'll type these in the equation form , you tell me which answer it is .

13. anonymous

You can write the last equation I wrote like this: $y = \frac{1}{3}(x+6)$

14. anonymous

Is that equation available at the options?

15. anonymous

yeah , you forgot the y - 0 = though . okay now i see it . thanks .

16. anonymous

well is not necessary to write the 0

17. anonymous

You're welcome.
