Algebra.Com's Answer #771675 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A line with a slope of -3/4 that passes through (12,-4).\" \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "one way is to use the point slope form y - y1 = m(x- x1) \n" ); document.write( "In this problem x1=12, y1=-4, m=-3/4 \n" ); document.write( "hence \n" ); document.write( "y - (-4) = \n" ); document.write( " y1 becomes a +4; distribute the -3/4; becomes a +9 \n" ); document.write( "y + 4 = \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "; \n" ); document.write( "looks like this \n" ); document.write( " |
