Question

8th grade math equation of the line in slope intercept form what would a graph look like if a line that contains the point 4,-6 and has a slope of 3/4

Answer 1

slope = m = 3/4

Point(4, -6)

Line equation in slope intercept form: y = mx + b

In this case we know m = 3/4, so we have to find "b" using the point coordinates:

y = (3/4)x + b

-6 = (3/4)4 + b

-6 = 3 + b

b = -6 -3 = -9

b = -9

Line equation: y = (3/4)x - 9

Answer:

y = (3/4)x - 9
