Question 55397: The book is asking me to match a graph to an equation. How do I take y-4=-(3/2)(x+1) and read it as a graph? I see a graph that has a point at the coordinates (1,-4) and a different one at (-1,4). Please help!!! Thank you for any help you can provide. Thank you, thank you, and...thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The book is asking me to match a graph to an equation. How do I take y-4=-(3/2)(x+1) and read it as a graph? I see a graph that has a point at the coordinates (1,-4) and a different one at (-1,4). is in point slope form , where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a point of the graph.
Your (x1,y1) is (-1,4), so pick that graph.
Here's what it should look like:
Happy Calculating!!!
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, distribute the -3/2 across the (x+1)
Add 4 to both sides
Since neither of your points are intercepts, from here just plug them in and see which one is true
plug in (1,-4)
FALSE!!!!
Try the second ordered pair
plug in (-1,4)
TRUE!!!
The correct ordered pair is (-1,4)
