Question

A line passes through the point (-6, 9) and has a slope of 4/3. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y = 4/3x + 17 .

Explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 9 = 4/3(x - -6)

y - 9 = 4/3x + 8

y = 4/3x + 17 <--------- Slope-intercept form.
