what is the equation that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1) with a slope of 3/2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = -5
\n" ); document.write( "y1 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "m = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = \"3%2F2\"(x - (-5))
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = \"3%2F2\"(x + 5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = \"3%2F2\"x + \"3%2F2\"(5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = \"3%2F2\"x + \"15%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"3%2F2\"x + \"15%2F2\" + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"3%2F2\"x + \"15%2F2\" + \"2%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"3%2F2\"x + \"17%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "you could also write it
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.5x + 8.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
