Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slop of 3/4 and passes through the point (2,1)??

(A) 3y = 4x-5
(B) 4y = 3x-2
(C) 3y = 4x+2
(D) 4y = 3x+5
??????????????? :-)

Answer 1

(B) 4y = 3x-2

Explanation:

Divide by the coefficient of y to see the slope. It will be the resulting coefficient of x. Only choices B and D match requirements.

Check to see which equation is satisfied by the given point:

B: 4(1) = 3(2) -2 . . . . true

D: 4(1) = 3(2) +5 . . . .false

The appropriate equation is ...

4y = 3x-2
