Question

A line passes through the point (−8,-3) and has a slope of 3/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

hi

Answer 2

@hockeychick23 that's wrong

Answer 3

Well the slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Answer 4

m being slope, x being the x value, and b being the y intercept.

Answer 5

So plug in what we know
y = -3 so
-3 = mx + b

x = -8 so
-3 = m(-8) + b

The slope, m, is 3/2 so
-3 = 3/2(-8) + b
Now simplify

Answer 6

-3 = -12 + b
+12 +12
9 = b

Answer 7

so the final equation is y = 3/2x + 9
