Question

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope -3/8 and passes through the point (5, -4).

​

Answer 1

y+3/8x=-17/8

Explanation:

y=mx+b

y=-3/8x+b

-4=-3/8(5)+b

-4=-15/8+b

-32/8+15/8=b

-17/8=b

y=-3/8x-17/8

change to standard form where x and y are on one side of the equation

y+3/8x=-17/8
