Question

A(-2,5) with a slope of 3/4

I am trying to write the general form of the line that passes through point A.

I am using

y-5=3/4(x+2)

Answer 1

I am getting

\[-\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }x+y=4\]

Which is the wrong answer. Can some one help me find my error and get the right answer please?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Start with the formula
b = y - mx
b = 5 -.75*(-2)
b = 5 + 1.5
b = 6.5
y = mx + 6.5
y = .75x + 6.5

Answer 4

\[y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x+2)\]multiply out on the right
\[y=5=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{2}\] add \(5\) to both sides
\[y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{13}{2}\]

Answer 5

i am not sure what "general form" means, but the above form is called "slope - intercept" form

Answer 6

\[y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x+2)\]
\[y-5=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{2}\]
\[y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{13}{2}\]
\[4y=3x+26\]\\[3x-4y=-26\]

Answer 7

Ok thank you that is what I was missing was the step with the fractions.
