Question

write the slope intercept equation for the line with the given slope that contains the given slope.
m= 8/3 ; (3,-4)

Answer 1

we have: y = (8 / 3) x + b
plug in (3, -4) to the equation, we get
(-4) = 8 / 3 * 3 + b
solving we get b = -12

solution: y = (8 / 3) x - 12

Answer 2

could you show me how you solved for -12. sorry i get very confused with math

Answer 3

general equation is
y-y1 = m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the given point and m is the given slope

Answer 4

after plugging in the points (3, -4), we have (-4) = (8 / 3) * 3 + b
proceed by adding [- (8 / 3) * 3] on both side of the equation
on the left side we have: (-4) - (8 / 3) * 3 = -12
on the right side we have (8 / 3) * 3 - (8 / 3) * 3 + b = b
thus -12 = b

thank you much!
