Question

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

slope of
3/2 ?

Answer 1

y= 3/2x + 2

Explanation:

you can find the y intercept (0,y) to find what number needs to be added (the 2) by adding or subrtacting to the point given until the x value reaches 0. You then need to add or subtract the 3/2 or the slope the same amount of times you did, and that will be the amount that you need to include in your equation. The slope will always be multipled to the x.
