Question

A line passes through the point (4, -6) and has a slope of 3/2 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

A slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y -intercept

A slope of 3/2 is given

So y = 3/2 x + b

To find b:

b = y - mx

A line passes through the point (4, -6)

b = -6 - (3/2)(4)

b = -6 - 6

b = - 12

Answer

Equation in  slope intercept form:  y = 3/2 x - 12

Answer 2

Y=3/2 x=12.......................
