How to write standard form of equation through point (-6,-2) and Slope - 1/3? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point 1 Answer Alan P. May 3, 2015 For a point #(x_1,y_1) = (-6,-2)# and a slope of #m=- 1/3# #(y-y_1)/(x-x_1) = m# becomes #(y+2)/(x+6) = -1/3# #3y+6 = -x -6# #3y = -x -12# #y =-1/3x -4# Answer link Related questions When writing an equation of a line, if I know more than one point, does it matter which one I choose?
