Question

What is the equation of the line with slope `m= -7/3` that passes through `(-7/15,-5/24)`?

Answer 1

`y = -\frac{7x}{3}-\frac{467}{360}`

Explanation:

use the formula:
`(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)`

to get:
`y+\frac{5}{24} = -\frac{7}{3}(x+\frac{7}{15})`

simplify that to get:
`y = -\frac{7x}{3}-\frac{467}{360}`
