A line goes through the point (4,-3) and has a slope of -3/2. Graph this line.
.
The equation can be found by plugging the given info into the "point-slope" form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = (-3/2)(x - 4)
y + 3 = (-3/2)x + 6
y = (-3/2)x + 3
.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 3/1.5 = 2.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 3/1 = 3.
Slope is -1.5/1 = -1.5.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-1.5*x+3.
