Question

what is the equation of a line that has a slope of -3/2 and passes through the point (-4,2)?

Answer 1

\[y=-3/2x-4\]

Answer 2

you have to use slope intercept form

y=mx+b

m is slope so you just put in -3/2
and b is the y value that you have which is 2

so -3/2x+2

Answer 3

b is not just the y value that you are given. You have to substitute in the x into the equation so you get 2=-3/2(-4)+b which gives you b=-4. Then you plug that in as your b value
