Question

A line passes through the point(4,-3) and has a slope of 5/4 what is the equation for this line

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = $\frac{5}{4}$, hence

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (4, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 5 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 5 = - 8

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x - 8 ← equation of line
