A line passes through the point (–6, –3) and has a slope of 2/3 . Which point is on the same line?

The point (0, 1) represents the y-intercept.

Hence, the y-intercept (0, 1) is on the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

Given

Using the point-slope form

where

In our case:

substituting the values m = 2/3 and the point (-6, -3)  in the point-slope form

Subtract 3 from both sides

comparing with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b

Here the slope = m = 2/3

Y-intercept b = 1

We know that the value of y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

Given the line

at x = 0, y = 1

Thus, the point (0, 1) represents the y-intercept.

Hence, the y-intercept (0, 1) is on the same line.

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-5) = 2/3(x -0)

y + 5 = 2/3x

y = 2/3x - 5
