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

Question

helder_edwin · Answer

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.

so how would i do it because i dont know

kva1992 · Answer

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

kva1992 · Answer

all you do is plug in the numbers to the equation

anonymous · Answer

so the top equation is the answer

kva1992 · Answer

nope thats the formula

kva1992 · Answer

-8 is your $$x_{0}$$ and 4 is your  $$y_{0}$$

kva1992 · Answer

and all you do is plug it in

anonymous · Answer

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

kva1992 · Answer

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