Question

Please help!

"a line intercepts the point (3, -4) and has a slope of 17. what is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"
then it has the partially filled out equation:
y=17x+__

Answer 1

y=17x-55

Explanation:

4 = 17(3)+b

-4 = 51 + b Subtract 51 both sides

-55 = b

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

-55 = b

Explanation:

If you fill in the x and the y with the equation you have below, you would get:

-4 = 17(3)+b

Multiply 17 and 3

-4 = 51 + b

-55 = b
