Question

Ben knows that a line passes through the point (-3, 8) and has a slope of -3/4, but he needs to find the equation of the line. Therefore, he should substitute 8 for Response area and he should substitute -3 for Response area, and he should substitute -3/4 for Response area into the Point-Slope Formula. He will need to Response area and simplify before solving for y = mx + b form.

Answer 1

y = -3/4 + 10 1/4

Explanation:

y = mx + b

We are given the slope -3/4.

y = -3/4x + b To find the b we will use the point (-3,8) We will use -3 for x and 8 for y and then solve for b

8 = -3/4 (-3) + b

8 = -9/4 + b Add 9/4 to both sides

8 + 9/4 = -9/4 + 9/4 + b

41/4 = b or 10 1/4 = b
