Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (- 4, 4) and has a slope of 3/4

Answer 1

• y = 3/4x + 7

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

• y = mx + b

Given

• m = 3/4 and point (-4, 4)

Substitute values to find b:

• 4 = 3/4(-4) + b
• 4 = -3 + b
• 7 = b

Then the line is:

• y = 3/4x + 7
