Question

Determine the equation of the line with slope 3/4 passing through the point 4,0

Answer 1

`y = (3)/(4)x - 3`

Explanation:

If it has a slope of 3/4, then it will look like this:

`y = (3)/(4)x + b`

If it passes through (4, 0), than y = 0 when x = 4

`y = (3)/(4)(4) + b`

`y = 3 + b`

`b = -3`

Therefore, the equation is
`y = (3)/(4)x - 3`.
