Hi

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept. 

Finding the equation of the line that contains the point (-2,4) and has slope -3/4

    y = (-3/4)x + b  |Using order pair Pt(-2,4) to solve for b

    4 = 3/2 + b

    5/2 = b     (-3/4)x + 5/2
