Algebra.Com's Answer #195237 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation in standard form of the line satisfying the given conditions. Through (-2,4); m= -3/4 \n" ); document.write( "I'm assuming you use point-slope form. y-y1= m(x-x1) \n" ); document.write( "But I came up with a different answer than the book. The book says the answer is 3x+4y=10 \n" ); document.write( "How do you get that answer? \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Find b \n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "4 = (-3/4)*(-2) + b \n" ); document.write( "4 = 3/2 + b \n" ); document.write( "b = 5/2 \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "--> y = (-3/4)x + 5/2 \n" ); document.write( "4y = -3x + 10 \n" ); document.write( "3x + 4y = 10 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
