You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Most of the work is done since you already have the slope. So the slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b. We already know what y, m, and x equals, we just want b (the y-intercept).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "with the point you've been given: $\"+%28-5%29+=+%28-3%2F4%29%280%29%2Bb+\"$ this simplifies to -5=b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The final answer is $\"+y=%28-3%2F4%29x-5+\"$ You can double check this by plotting this line and making sure that the point that you've been given is on the line. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By looking at the graph, we can see that it is. \n" ); document.write( "
