Question

Graph the line passing through the given point and having the indicated slope.through (-3,-2) with slope -5/4

Answer 1

Since the line passes through (-3,-2) and having slope -5/4.

So we will use equation of line passing through one point

$y=mx+c$

since the above line has slope -5/4 and passes through (-3,-2).

So ,

$-2=\frac{-5}{-4}\cdot-3+c$

So we get c=-23/4

So equation of line becomes

$y=\frac{-5}{4}\cdot x-\frac{23}{4}$

so we plot now this graph on axis
