You can put this solution on YOUR website! find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point m=(3/4), (9,-1)
----
Form: y = mx + b
You know y = -1 when x = 9, and m = 3/4
----
Solve for "b":
-1 = (3/4)9 + b
-1 = 27/4 + b
-4/4 = 27/4 + b
b = -31/4
---
Equation:
y = (3/4)x -(31/4)
