Question

What is the point-slope form given the following slope and a point on the line? m = 3/7 , (7, -4)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is y = (3/7)x - 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the point slope form of an equation is y = mx + b where m represents the gradient and b is the y-intercept. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the equation :

$y = mx + b$

$let \: m = \frac{3}{7} ,x = 7,y = - 4$

$- 4 = \frac{3}{7} (7) + b$

$- 4 = 3 + b$

$- 4 - 3 = b$

$b = - 7$
