Answer:
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
or in slope intercept
y= -3/4x-38/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:
Now that we have the slope, plug in the slope and choose one point to plug into the point slope formula. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.
(y--5)=-3/4(x--6)
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
y+5=-3/4x-18/4
y=-3/4x-18/4-20/4
y= -3/4x-38/4
