Answer:
(a) y = 3/4*x + 19/4
(b) x = 1/3
Explanation:
Assumption: line slope (m) is 3/4
(a)
Line general formula is y = m*x + b. In this exercise, you knew a point which lies on the line and its slope. So, replacing in the formula and solving for b gives
7 = 3/4*3 + b
b = 7 - 9/4
b = 19/4
Then, the equation of the line is y = 3/4*x + 19/4
(b)
Replacing the point into the formula obtained previously and solving for x gives
5 = 3/4*x + 19/4
x = (5 - 19/4)*4/3
x = 1/3
