Find the equation of a line with a given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
m = − 3/4, point (8, −4)
Find the equation of a line with a given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
m = − 7/2, point (−8, −4)
Find the equation of a line with a given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
m = −6, point (−1, −4)
Find the equation of a line with a given slope and containing the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
a horizontal line containing (−3, −5)
1)
Formula for slope:
y=mx+b
-4=(-3/4)(8)+b substitution
-4=-6+b
4+6=b additive inverse
2=b
Now we can substitute b into our equation.
So, y=(-3/4)x+2 will be our answer!
(Thanks to CPhill for correcting me!)
3) Again! :D
y=mx+b
-4=(-6)(1)+b substitution
-4=-6+b
4+6=b additive inverse
2=b
Now we can substitute b into our equation.
So, y=-6x+2 will be our answer!
