Question

Find the equation of a straight line with slope – 1/ 3 and y – intercept – 4.

• A. 3y + x = -12
• B. 3y + x = -12
• C. 2y + x = 12
• D. 3y + x = 12

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3y + x = -12

The slope is – 1/3 and the coordinates are (0, – 4)

Now, the required equation of line is

y = mx + c

Substitute the values, we get

y = -1/3x – 4

3y + x = – 12
