Answer:

Explanation:

Given slope (m) = -3/4

and x1 = 6

and y1 = 4


Solve for b (y2) using x2 = 0.
m = -3/4 = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-3/4 = (4-y1)/(6-0)

-3/4 = (4-y1)/6

-(3/4)*6 = 4 - y1

-18/4 = 4 - y1

y1 = b = 16/4 + 18/4 = 34/4 = 8 1/2


therefore the correct answer should be:

Equation of the line:

y = -3/4x + 8 1/2

Answer:

Its slope is

m = -1/(1/2) = -2

y = -2x + b

Get b from the given point.

-4 = -2(6) + b

b = 8

y = -2x + 8
