Answer:

y = 3/2x -3

Explanation:

You want the equation of the line y = 3/2x -4 after it has been dilated by a factor of 3/4 about the origin.

Dilation

Dilation is a transformation that preserves angles and orientation, but changes the distance of each point from the center of dilation. This means the slope of the line is not changed, but the y-intercept is multiplied by the dilation factor:

y = 3/2x -(3/4)(4)

y = 3/2x -3 . . . . . . . . dilated line
