Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 1) and has a
slope of 3/2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

x1 = -2

y1 = 1

slope (m) = 3/2

Solution:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 1 = 3/2 ( x - (-2) )

y - 1 = 3/2 ( x + 2 )

y - 1 = 3/2x + 3

y = 3/2x + 3 + 1

y = 3/2x + 4
