Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (8,-4) and has a slope of -3/4

Answer 1

y=-¾x+2

Explanation:

Use the point-slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

in other words

y+4=-¾(x-8)

Distribute next

y+4=-¾x+6

Isolate y

y=-¾x+2

Answer 2

y=-3/4x-2

Explanation:

put it in point slope form (y-y1)=m(x-x1) and plug on 8 for x1,-4 for y1, and -3/4 for m
