Question

A line passes through the point (8,-1) and has a slope of -3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3/2 x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

$(8,-1) = (x_1,y_1)\\\\m = -\frac{3}{2}$

Substitute values into point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y -(-1)=-\frac{3}{2} (x -8)\\\\y+1 = -\frac{3}{2}x+12\\\\y = -\frac{3}{2}x +12-1\\\\y =-\frac{3}{2}x +11$
