Answer:

y=3/2x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a point (-6,9) and a slope of 3/2

We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since we already know the slope of the line as 3/2, we can substitute it as m into the equation:

y=3/2x+b

Now let's find b

Since the equation of the line passes through (-6,9), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute -6 as x and 9 as y:

9=3/2(-6)+b

Multiply

9=-9+b

Add 9 to both sides

18=b

Substitute 18 as b into the equation.

y=3/2x+18

Hope this helps!
