Question: Determine the equation of each line. Write the answer in standard form using only intergers as the coefficient.
#36 The line through (-2,0) with slope -3/4.
I tried. y=mx+b
y=-3/4x+-2/0
Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You started out ok with y = mx + b, and you substituted the slope correctly:
1)
but now you need to determine the value of b, the y-intercept. You can do this by using the given point (-2, 0) through which the line passes. Substitute the x- and y-coordinates into equation 1) and solve for b.

Subtract 3/2 from both sides.
Now substitute this value of b into equation 1)
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions.
Now write in standard form.
