Answer:
b: 5x-4y+31=0
Explanation:
Let's look for an equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
We are given the slope, m, as (5/4), so we can write: y = (5/4)x+b.
To find b, just enter the given point, (-3,4), into the above equation and solve for b:
y=(5/4)x + b
4=(5/4)(-3) + b for (-3,4)
4 = -(15/4)+b
4 + (15/4) = b
4 + (3 3/4) = b
b = 7 3/4
The equation becomes y = (5/4)x + 7 3/4
Also written as: y = (5/4)x + (31/4)
To match this with one of the options, let's multiply by 4 to remove the two fractions:
y = (5/4)x + (31/4)
4y = (5)x + (31)
Rearrange so that the expression is = 0:
4y-5x-31 = 0
Now multiply by -1: -4y+5x+31=0
Rearrange and this will match option b: 5x-4y+31=0
