Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form given slope: 3/4, y intercept: -5?

Answer 1

`y = 3/4x-5`

Explanation:

Note: the y-intercept is the point (0,-5)
We use the formula:

`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)`

`y-(-5) = 3/4(x-0)`

`y+5 = 3/4x`y-intercept

`y = 3/4x-5`

This is slope-intercept form, but the given point was the y-intercept.
