Question

i need the equation of the line that has the indicated slope and contains the indicated point. final answer should be in standard form...

m=4/3;(-4,-5)

smarty · Answer

y=mx+b

smarty · Answer

so it woul be y=4/3x+b, plug in your points to solve for "b"

-5=-16/3+b
-5+16/3=b

1/3=b

anonymous · Answer

i thought b was the y-value

smarty · Answer

The Y-value is separate...

anonymous · Answer

so how would that look in standard form? Ax+By=C

smarty · Answer

Oh lolol xD. I read the question wrong.

anonymous · Answer

$$y=mx+b,m=4/3\rightarrow y= (4/3)x+b$$Considering the point (-4,-5)$$-5=(4/3)\times(-4)+b \rightarrow b = 1/3$$Thus,$$y=(4/3)x+(1/3)$$
