Question

A line has a slope of 9/4 and a y-intercept of -14.

Which equation represents the line?

Choose ALL that are correct (There may be more than one answer.).

A.) -9x+4y=-56

B.) 9x+4y=56

C.) y=9/4x-14

D.) y=9/4x+14

Answer 1

The answer correct is C.

We can use the linear equation y=mx+b to help. y is the dependent variable, m is slope, x is the independent variable, and b is the y intercept.

In this case, the values of x and y were not given, so we still have y=mx+b. We can substitute 9/4 for m and -14 for b to get y=9/4x-15, which is C.
