The book is asking me to match a graph to an equation. How do I take y-4=-(3/2)(x+1) and read it as a graph? I see a graph that has a point at the coordinates (1,-4) and a different one at (-1,4).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=-%283%2F2%29%28x%2B1%29\"$ is in point slope form $\"highlight%28y-y1=m%28x-x1%29%29\"$ , where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a point of the graph.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-highlight%284%29=-%283%2F2%29%28x-highlight%28-1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Your (x1,y1) is (-1,4), so pick that graph.
