write the point-slope form of the line described: through (0,-1) and parallel to y=3/4x-4

Question

anonymous · Answer

The slope is 3/4 so what you do Is solve for y using this formula.$$y +1 = \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(x)$$

Why am I tagged here , I don't know the answer, Sorry Madam.

ok

@mebs how do i solve for y?

anonymous · Answer

subtract 1 from both sides to get 
$$y=\frac{3}{4}x-1$$

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

then what? @satellite73

anonymous · Answer

parallel lines will have the same slope. So we know the slope(m) is 3/4.
point slope formula : y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/4
(0,-1)  x1 = 0, and y1 = -1
now sub that into the formula and you will have your answer :)

mandre · Answer

The point slope form is:
$$y - y _{1}= m(x - x _{1})$$

Using point (0,-1) and parallel line y=3/4x-4 you have:
$$y-(-1) = \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(x - 0)$$

Since they ask for the point-slope form that would be your answer or the simplified form:
$$y + 1 = \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x$$
