Question 877084: y-1
____= - 3/4
x+3
Answer by josgarithmetic(39630) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What you want to express is this:
(y-1)/(x+3)=-3/4.
The spaces as you seem to use are not working right for you. With the expression in pure text as I showed, put triple left curly braces and triple right curly bracess, each looking like { and }.
The equation will then look like:
;
The braces make the site render into mathematical notation.
The equation when simplified will become a linear equation. Multiply both members by 4(x+3). This will immediately give
, combined steps which you hopefully understand;
You do not solve that; you obtain a linear equation in two variables. This is shown in slope-intercept form, but you can adjust it into whichever form you want or need.
