Write the equation of the line that has the indicated slope and contains the indicated point. Express the final equation in standard form.
m =7/3; (−4, −9)
---------------------------------------------------------
We write the equation of the straight line in the form
y = *x + c, (1)
where c is some constant. Notice that this equation provides the slope of as required.
We need to chose the value of the constant c in a way the straight line passes through the point (-4,-9).
For it, substitute x = -4 and y = -9 into the equation (1).
You will get
-9 = *(-4) + c.
It implies c = -9 - .(-4) = = = .
Hence, the equation (1) takes the form
y = . (2)
It is your answer.
