Question

Graph the line with slope 3/4 passing through the point (2,-2).

Answer 1

y = (3/4)x - 3.5

Explanation:

Start with the slope-intercept equation form: y = mx + b.

We are told that the slope, m, is 3/4 and that a point on this line is (2, -2).

Then y = mx + b becomes -2 = (3/4)(2) + b, and so -2 = 3/2 + b.

Thus b = -3.5 and the desired equation is

y = (3/4)x - 3.5
