Question

Graph the line passing through the given point and having the indicated slope.through (-3,-2) with slope -5/4

Answer 1

Since the line passes through (-3,-2) and having slope -5/4.

So we will use equation of line passing through one point

`y=mx+c`

since the above line has slope -5/4 and passes through (-3,-2).

So ,

`-2=(-5)/(-4)\cdot-3+c`

So we get c=-23/4

So equation of line becomes

`y=(-5)/(4)\cdot x-(23)/(4)`

so we plot now this graph on axis
