Question

what is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5,-4) and has a slope of 3/4

Answer 1

Hello

Answer 2

Do you know slope intercept form?

Answer 3

If you want help you need to respond please

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

\[y=mx+b\]

Answer 6

oh i know that

Answer 7

is slope intercept form
where m is the slope and x and b are the x and y intercepts

Answer 8

so do you know what it it going to be?

Answer 9

y=3/4x+1/4?

Answer 10

close, you have the slope right

Answer 11

you have the x and y coordinates which are (5, -4)

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

if x=x and b=y plug them in.

Answer 14

x is 5 so what is x going to be in the equation? y is -4 so what is b going to be in the equation?

Answer 15

3?

Answer 16

no, just wondering, where are you getting the 3?

Answer 17

im so confused sorry

Answer 18

Ok lets rewind

Answer 19

you are given the slope which is what?

Answer 20

3/4

Answer 21

yes and the slop is m in the equation, its going to look like this so far \[y=3/4x+b\]

Answer 22

would the rest be 31/4?

Answer 23

for b

Answer 24

no, not at all

Answer 25

thats the only too answer choices

Answer 26

what are they

Answer 27

1/4 or -1/4 31/4 or -31/4

Answer 28

ok wait a minute

Answer 29

ok

Answer 30

it should be \[y=3/4x-4\]

Answer 31

because the y-int is -4 and the slope is 3/4

Answer 32

so being that its y=-3/4x-1/4?

Answer 33

to be honest, that just doesnt make sense. The slope is positive and i dont see where they are getting the -1/4

Answer 34

could you post a picture of the question

Answer 35

it just doesnt make sense, i took algebra 1 last year so its fresh in my mind but i dont get your problem.

Answer 36

can i have a medal for helping?

Answer 37

yes how do you do that

Answer 38

you click best response, the little blue thing by my name

Answer 39

it should show that next to a little medal thing with a 0
