Algebra.Com's Answer #71355 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE LINE FORMULA IS [Y=mX+b} WHERE (m)=SLOPE & (b)=THE Y INTERCEPT. \n" ); document.write( "NOW SUBSTITUTE THE X (-2) & Y (0) VALUES & THE SLOPE (-3/4) & SOLVE FOR (b) THE Y INTERCEPT. \n" ); document.write( "0=-3/4*-2+b \n" ); document.write( "0=6/4+b \n" ); document.write( "b=-6/4 \n" ); document.write( "b=-1.5 WHICH IS THE Y INTERCEPT. \n" ); document.write( "THUS THE EQUATION IS: \n" ); document.write( "Y=-3X/4-1.5 \n" ); document.write( "SO WE NOW HAVE 2 POINTS (0,-1.5) & (-2,0) & A SLOPE OF (-3/4) \n" ); document.write( " |
