What is the equation of the line with slope # m= -3/49 # that passes through # (13/7,1/21) #?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#y-1/21=-3/49(x-1/21)#

Use the point-slope form for a linear equation:

#y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#,

where:

#m# is the slope, and #(x_1,y_1)# is the point.

Plug in the known values.

#y-1/21=-3/49(x-1/21)#

If you want to convert to the slope-intercept form, solve the point-slope form for #y#.

The equation of the line with slope (m = -3/49) that passes through ((13/7, 1/21)) is (y = -\frac{3}{49}x + \frac{10}{21}).

Avery Alexander

The equation of the line with slope (m = -\frac{3}{49}) that passes through the point (\left(\frac{13}{7}, \frac{1}{21}\right)) is:

[y - \frac{1}{21} = -\frac{3}{49}(x - \frac{13}{7})]

or equivalently:

[y = -\frac{3}{49}x + \frac{46}{147}]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
