Question 930896


do you mean find equation of a line that has a {{{slope=1/3}}} and  passing through passing through point ({{{3}}},{{{5}}})?

if yes, then:

{{{y=mx+b}}} where {{{m=slope}}} and {{{b=y-intercept}}}

given: 

{{{m=1/3}}} and point ({{{x}}},{{{y}}})=({{{3}}},{{{5}}})

use given to find y-intercept {{{b}}}

{{{5=(1/3)3+b}}}

{{{5=1+b}}}

{{{5-1=b}}}

{{{b=4}}}

so, your line is:{{{y=(1/3)x+4}}}
