Question: 1 / 410

Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 2/3 and passes through the point (-3,5).

y = -2/3x + 10

y = 2/3x + 7

The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this question, we are given the slope of 2/3 and a point (-3,5) that the line passes through.

To find the y-intercept, we substitute the given slope and point into the slope-intercept form equation and solve for b.

So, using (-3,5) and 2/3 for x and y respectively

5 = (2/3)(-3) + b

5 = -2 + b

b = 7

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 2/3x + 7, making B the correct answer.

For the other choices:

A) y = -2/3x +
