Question

Write the slope intercept from of the equation of the line through the give point and with the given slope.

through point (3,-1) with a slope of -4/3

Answer 1

`y=-(4)/(3)x+3`

Explanation:

The formula for slope intercept form is
`y=mx+b`, where m is slope and b is y intercept.

The slope of the line is -4/3. If you graph a line with (3,-1) in it with the slope of -4/3, it will pass 3 in the y axis.

3 is the y intercept.

Replace m with -4/3 and b with 3.

`y=-(4)/(3)x+3`
