You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope-intercept form is
y+=+mx+%2B+b
given:
m+=+-3%2F4
Now you have:
y+=+-%283%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+b
If the line goes through (0,5), I can say
5+=+-%283%2F4%29%2A0+%2B+b
b+=+5
So, the equation is:
y+=+-%283%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+5
Here's the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+-%283%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+5%29+
