Question

A line passes through the point (-8,8) and has a slope of 3/4 .Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3/4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since there is a point and slope we must write the point slope formula for this problem:

Y - 8 = 3/4 ( x + 8)

then we must simplify to slope intercept form.

1. distribute

y - 8 = 3/4x + 6

2. make y alone, adding 8 to other side

y = 3/4x + 14

THERE IS YOUR ANSWER!!!!

*Point slope form:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

*Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b
