Question

what is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 3/4?

Answer 1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/4
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub
-4 = 3/4(5) + b
-4 = 15/4 + b
-4 - 15/4 = b
-16/4 - 15/4 = b
- 31/4 = b....or - 7 3/4 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3/4x + (-31/4) or y = 3/4x - 31/4
