(a) Sketch the line with slope
5
4
assuming that slope is m=5%2F4
that passes through the point
(x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D)=(-3, 2)

b) Find an equation for this line.
use point slope formula

y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29
y-2=%285%2F4%29%28x-%28-3%29%29
y-2=%285%2F4%29%28x%2B3%29
y=%285%2F4%29x%2B3%285%2F4%29%2B2
y=%285%2F4%29x%2B15%2F4%2B8%2F4
y=%285%2F4%29x%2B23%2F4
