Question

graph the equation y-3=-3/2(x+4)

Please help

Answer 1

\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
m is the slope <---you have this given
(x1,y1) is the point. <--you have this given

Answer 2

Do you know how to plot a point in a Cartesian graph?

Answer 3

no not really

Answer 4

Do you know what the term "slope" means?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Does this graph look familiar to you?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

i need to graph the equation but i do not know how to

Answer 9

Do you know how to plot a point on this graph?

Answer 10

Yes, i'm walking you through on how tog graph on this plane.

Answer 11

Xy-plane

Answer 12

So, in your equation y-3=-3/2(x+4)
What is \((x_1,y_1)\)?

Answer 13

yes i know how to plot a point

Answer 14

Okay, good. Let us determine a point from your given equation y-3=-3/2(x+4).

Answer 15

@Hafsahilyas1
By looking at this, \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\) and looking at your equation \(y-3=-\frac{3}{2}(x-(-4))\) do you see any similarities?

Answer 16

y1 is 3 and -3/2 is m and -4 ix x1

Answer 17

Perfect. Your point \((x_1,y_1)\) is \((3,-4)\). That's a point on the graph. Can you point \((3,-4)\) on this graph?
