1.
Slope m=+3%2F4, containing the point (-2,4)
use the "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line:
y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29
y-4=%283%2F4%29%28x-%28-2%29%29
y-4=%283%2F4%29%28x%2B2%29
y-4=%283%2F4%29x%2B2%283%2F4%29
y=%283%2F4%29x%2B%283%2F2%29%2B4
y=%283%2F4%29x%2B%283%2F2%29%2B8%2F2
y=%283%2F4%29x%2B11%2F2
