Andy wrote the equation of a line that has a slope of and passes through the point (3, –2) in function notation.

Step 1: y – (–2) =3/4 (x – 3)
Step 2: y + 2 = x – 9/4
Step 3: y + 2 + 2 = x – + 2
Step 4: y = 3/4x – 1/4
Step 5: f(x) = 3/4x – 1/4 Did he have a error anywhere?

He made an error in step 3

He should have subtracted 2 from both sides.
