Answer:
As you have written
Z Y = 3 X Y,
It means X, Y, Z are collinear points i.e they lie in the same line or line segment.
Locating points X, Y,Z on the line
Two possibilities are possible
1. First Z, then X and then Y on the line or line segment
→ Z X + Y X= Z Y
But Z Y = 3 X Y [ Given]
→ Z X + Y X = 3 X Y
→ Z X = 3 X Y - Y X
→ Z X = 2 X Y ⇒ which is not the result.
2. 2nd Possibility
First Z, then Y and then X on the line or line segment
→ Z X = Z Y + Y X
→ Z X= 3 X Y + Y X [Z Y=3 X Y→(given)]
→ Z X= 4 X Y , Which is the result.
Slope itnercept is y=mx+b
ok, let's start with point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m
so given point (-3,4) and slope -3/4
y-4=-3/4(x-(-3))
y-4=-3/4(x+3)
distribute to solve for y
y-4=(-3/4)x-9/4
add 4 to both sides
y=(-3/4)x-9/4+4
y=(-3/4)x-9/4+16/4
y=(-3/4)x+7/4
