Question

Given the following equation in point-slope form. Identify the slope and the point.

y - 5 = 3/4 (x+ 3)

M =

Answer 1

point = (-3, 5)

slope = 3/4

Explanation:

The formula for point slope is:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

point (x1, y1)

slope m

So with your equation:

y - 5 = 3/4 (x+ 3)

point = (-3, 5)

slope = 3/4

Answer 2

Answer: M=0,75

Explanation:

• We have a linear function
• y=mx+b
• where m is slope ; by intercept
• Let's bring the functions to the standard form
• 
  `\displaystyle y-5 =(3)/(4) \cdot (x+3) \\\\ y=(3x+9)/(4) +5 \\\\ y=0,75x+2,25+5 \\\\ y=0,75x+7,25 \\\\ y=\boldsymbol {0,75}x+7,25 \\\\ \rm Then : \\\\ M=0,75`
