Question

a line having a slope of 3/4 passes through the point ( -8,4).write the equation of this line in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

u have the slope m and a point (x0,y0) the equation of the line would be
\[\large y-y_0=m(x-x_0) \]
do some algebra (solve for y) and you will get the equation u r looking for.

Answer 2

so how would i do it because i dont know

Answer 3

y=3/4x+6+4= y=3/4x +10

Answer 4

all you do is plug in the numbers to the equation

Answer 5

so the top equation is the answer

Answer 6

nope thats the formula

Answer 7

-8 is your \[x_{0}\] and 4 is your \[y_{0}\]

Answer 8

and all you do is plug it in

Answer 9

Oh so what would be the equation of the line in slope intercept form ?

Answer 10

y=3/4x +10 did that in my head so just double check the answer

Answer 11

thats the answer ?

Answer 12

should be
