Answer:
y = (3/2)x - (1/2)
Explanation:
The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. You have been given the value of "m" (3/2). To find the value of "b", you should plug "m" into the equation in addition to the "x" and "y" values from the given point (1,1)
(1,1) ----> x = 1, y = 1
m = 3/2
y = mx + b <----- Slope-intercept form
y = (3/2)x + b <----- Plug (3/2) into "m"
1 = (3/2)(1) + b <----- Plug values into "x" and "y" from point
1 = (3/2) + b <----- Multiply (3/2) and 1
(2/2) = (3/2) + b <----- Change 1 into common denominator
(-1/2) = b <----- Subtract (3/2) from both sides
Because you now have values for both variables, you can construct your final equation.
y = (3/2)x - (1/2)
