Question

A line passes through the point (-8, 7) and has a slope of negative 3/4

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/4
(-8,7)...x = -8 and y = 7
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
7 = 3/4(-8) + b
7 = - 6 + b
7 + 6 = b
13 = b

so ur line is : y = 3/4x + 13
