Question

Find an equation of the line that has slope m and y-intercept b. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.)
m = −9/-2; b = 3/4

anonymous · Answer

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.

anonymous · Answer

clueless here

anonymous · Answer

Just sub in the values they gave you.

directrix · Answer

The slope-intercept form for a line is given above by pjs.

The intercept refers to the y-intercept.

y = (-9/-2) x + 3/4

directrix · Answer

Question: Is the slope (-9/-2) or is that a typo?

anonymous · Answer

the whole thing is negative but i didn't wan to put the negative on only one number and then get a different answer.

directrix · Answer

Hey,( -9/-2)  is not the same as - 9/2.

anonymous · Answer

yea but the whole fraction is not negative.. not just the 9

directrix · Answer

Example:  - (1/2) = (-1)/2 = (1/(-2) but NOT (-1)/(-2) because (-1)/(-2) = + 1/2

anonymous · Answer

your right. my bad on that one lol.. didn't quite know how to place it without paper and pen. but your answer was correct

directrix · Answer

I have to redo the answer.

anonymous · Answer

no it was right!

directrix · Answer

y = (-9/2) x + 3/4

anonymous · Answer

yup

thank you
