y-8=%283%2F4%29%28x-2%29 ---> This follows a Line equation in the format Slope-
Intercept form: y=mx%2Bb
We'll see,
y-8=%283%2F4%29%28x-2%29 , distribute
y-8=%283%2F4%29x-%286%2F4%29 ---> 6%2F4--> reduced ---> 3%2F2
y=%283%2F4%29x-%283%2F2%29-8
y=%283%2F4%29x-%283-16%29%2F2
y=%283%2F4%29x-%2813%2F2%29 ---> slope=3%2F4 and y-intercept @ -13%2F2
We'll check the points where the line passes the x & y coordinates:
f(x)=0:
y=-13%2F2
f(y)=0:
%283%2F4%29x=13%2F2 ---> cross%283%2F4%29x%2Fcross%283%2F4%29=%2813%2F2%29%2F%283%2F4%29
x=%2813%2F2%29%284%2F3%29=52%2F6
we'll see the graph
---> Line passes thru points 52%2F6 @ x-axis and -13%2F2 @ y axis.
