Slope intercept form of a line that has a slope of -3/4 and passes through (4, 3)

tia_tia [17]

<h3>Explanation</h3>

First Method

We have the given slope value and the coordinate point that the graph passes through.

$y = mx + b$

where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Substitute the value of slope in the equation.

$y = - \frac{3}{4} x + b$

We have the given coordinate point as well. After we substitute the slope, we substitute the coordinate point value in the equation.

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

Solve the equation for b-term

$3 = - 3 + b \\ 3 + 3 = b \\ 6 = b$

The value of b is 6. We substitute the value of b in the equation.

$y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 6$

Second Method

We can also use the Point-Slope form to solve the question.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Given the y1 and x1 = the coordinate point value.

Substitute the slope and coordinate point value in the point slope form.

$y - 3 = - \frac{3}{4} (x - 4)$

Simplify/Convert into Slope-intercept

$y = - \frac{3}{4} (x - 4) + 3 \\ y = - \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{12}{4} + 3 \\ y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 3 + 3 \\y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 6$

<h3>Answer</h3>

 $\large \boxed {y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 6}$

N Example 3, the points are(0,3500) and (5,1750). Write an equation that represents the distance y (in feet) remaining after x m

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350$

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500$

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

$0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10$

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.
