Question

Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (10, -4) and has slope -3/10. Please show all of your work

Answer 1

general form of the equation is
y=mx + b

here m = -3/10, x = 10 and y = -4

substituting them in general form we get
3
-4 = - --- * 10 + b
10
-4 = -3 + b
-4 + 3 = b
-1 = b

so the required equation is
3
y = - ---- x -1
10
