<PRE><B>Question 1116803</B>
Write the linear equation (in point slope form) that contains the points( -9,5) and has a slope of -1/3. Then convert the equation to slope intercept form
------
Form:: y = mx + b
-----
Solve for &quot;b&quot;::
5 = (-1/3)(-9) + b
5 -3 = b
b = 2
-----
y = (-1/3)x+2
----------------
