what is the equation that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1) with a slope of 3/2
:
Use the point/slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where
x1 = -5
y1 = 1
m = 3/2
:
y - 1 = (x - (-5))
:
y - 1 = (x + 5)
:
y - 1 = x + (5)
:
y - 1 = x +
:
y = x + + 1
:
y = x + +
:
y = x +
you could also write it
y = 1.5x + 8.5
