Question:
how would you do the problem slope:3/2, y intercept:-4
Answer:
The slope intercept form of line is given by,
+y+=+mx+%2B+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here it is given that,
slope, +m+=+3%2F2

And y-intercept = -4

So the equatio is given by,

+y+=+%283%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+%28-4%29


+y+=+%283%2F2%29%2Ax+-+4+

Which is the required equation.
You can further simplify this as follows...


Multiply through out by 2

==> +2%2A+y+=+2%2A%283%2F2%29%2Ax++-2%2A4


==> +2y+=+3x+-8+

Further.... subtract 3x from both sides...

==> +2y+-+3x++=+3x+-8+-+3x

==> +2y+-+3x++=+-8+


Hope you found the explanation useful.
