Question

A line has a slope of -3/4 and passes through the point (-5,4) which is the equation on the line

Answer 1

y-4=-3/4(x+5)

Explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=-3/4(x-(-5))

y-4=-3/4(x+5)

Answer 2

y = -3/4x -2

Explanation:

Slope = -3/4

Therefore y = -3/4x + c

We need to find c. Substitute the given point into the equation.

y = -5, x = 4

y = -3/4x + c

-5 = -3/4 (4) + c

-5 = -3 + c

-5 + 3 = c

-2 = c

The equation of the line

y = -3/4x - 2
