Question

The line passes through the point -4, -8 and has a slope of 3/2 Rewrite an equation in a X plus BY equals C

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4,-8)...x = -4 and y = -8

slope = 3/2

in y = mx + b form, the m is ur slope

now sub ur info into y = mx + b......we need to find b, the y intercept

y = mx + b

-8 = 3/2(-4) + b

-8 = -6 + b

-8 + 6 = b

-2 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3/2x - 2.....but u need it in another form

y = 3/2x - 2.....subtract 3/2x from both sides

-3/2x + y = -2 ....then u can multiply by -2 and get 3x - 2y = 4....just in case u dont want fractions
