Question

Write the equation of a line in point slope form that has a slope of -3/4 and passes through the point (4,5)

Answer 1

Use the formula

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

Where,

\[m=-3/4,(x_1,y_1)=(4,5)\]

Answer 2

@undeadboss

got it dude ?

Answer 3

yeah im trying

Answer 4

so the slope is y? right?

Answer 5

m represents the slope, in this ques m=-3/4

Answer 6

i had a brain fart and now i cant figure it out

Answer 7

whats the equation?

Answer 8

Alternate method,
Equation for a line in slope form is given by, y=mx +c
where m represents slope and c represents a constant.
Let the line y=mx+c pass from given points (4,5)
So now we have x=4 and y=5, also m=>slope=-3/4
now put these values in the equation of line as they must satisfy this eqn,
from this, you will get the value of C
now put the value of c and m in y=mx+c, you will get the required equation.

Answer 9

i mean the end result

Answer 10

try this method, u will get the ans

Answer 11

the former method by hba is derived from this only.

Answer 12

y-b = m(x-a) is this the right equation

Answer 13

this also right, same as one by hba
here a,b represent the point passing through the line and m represents the slope
so, a=4, b=5 and m=-3/4
Put these value and you will get the desired eqn

Answer 14

got it?

Answer 15

yep thx
