The equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -4) and a slope of 3/4 is $y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{31}{4}$

First write the equation in point-slope form.

point slope : y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - (-4) = 3/4 (x - 5)

Now simplify:

y + 4 = 3/4 (x - 5)
y + 4 = 3/4x - 3.75
y = 3/4 - 7.75

Hope this helps :)

Hey there,
There are 2 ways
1st way:
Since there are 8 5 point problems, 38 - 8 = 30, will give you the 2 point problems.

2nd way:
8 x 5 = 40
100 - 40 = 60
60 / 2 = 30
Thus there are 30, 2 point problems.

Hope this helps :))
