Question

A line passes through the point (-8,-5) and has a slope of 3/4. Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y = ¾x + 1

Explanation:

Point-slope equation for line of slope ¾ that passes through (-8,-5):

y+5 = ¾(x+8)

Put into slope-intercept form:

y = ¾(x+8) - 5 = ¾x + 6 - 5 = ¾x + 1
