Question

A line / passes through point (-2, 5) and has the same y-intercept as

the line y-3x-4. What is the equation for the line /?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you meant to write y = 3x-4

We know that the y-intercept of the given line is (0,-4), so we need to find the equation of the line passing through (-2,5) and (0,-4).

The slope is

`(-4-5)/(0-(-2))=-(9)/(2)`

So, this means the equation is
`\boxed{y=-(9)/(2)x-4}`
