Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and the given slope. (-9, -4); m = -1/3

First, we must determine b using slope-intercept form*, the given point, and the given slope.

Second, we need to set up the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Third, we convert the above equation to STANDARD FORM**.

We now have our equation:

*Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

**Standard form: ax + by = c

your answer would be 12
