What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and has a slope
of -1/3

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

To determine the equation of a line:

We're given:

⇒ Plug the slope into the equation:

⇒ Plug in the given point (3,5) and determine the y-intercept:

⇒ Plug this back into the equation along with the slope:

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse
