Question

What is the point slope form of the line passing through ( − 8 , 6 ) with a slope of 3 2 ?

Answer 1

y=3/2x+18

Explanation:

Point-slope form: y=mx+b

You know that your slope is 3/2, and m is to represent slope, so so far, we have y=3/2x+b

Plug in -8 for x and 6 as y: 6=3/2(-8)+b

6=-12+b

b=18

Therefore, your final equation is y=3/2x+18
