Question

Graph the line with slope of -4/5 and on the x intercept of 3

Answer 1

Note: Equation of a Line os given as

`y=mx+c`

We are given that the slope is -4/5

That is m = -4/5

`y=-(4)/(5)x+c`

It has x intercept of 3, that is the point (3, 0)

Substituting we have

`\begin{gathered} y=-(4)/(5)x+c \\ 0=-(4)/(5)(3)+c \\ c=(12)/(5) \\ Thus,\text{ we have} \\ y=-(4)/(5)x+(12)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The graph of the line is
