Question

Write the equation of the line which has a slope of 3/4 and passes through (9, -4) write the answer in a slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = 3/4x -10.75

Explanation:

It is often convenient to start with point-slope form.

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

y = (3/4)(x -9) -4 . . . . fill in the given values

y = 3/4x -10.75 . . . . simplify
