Question

A line passes through the point (-8,1) and has a slope of 3/2
Write an equation in point slope form for this line

Answer 1

Answer:

y=3/2x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: y=mx+b

our coordinates are (-8,1) which is (x,y)

slope (3/2) = m

so

$y=mx+b$

is changed to

$1=\frac{3}{2} *-8+b$

solve for b

1=-12+b

b=13

so

y=3/2x+13
