Question 200777
 Find the point-slope equation of a line that has a slope of 3/4 and passes through the point(-6,-2). Then, solve for y.
------------------------
Form: y = mx + b
You are told that m=3/4 and that y = -2 when x = -6
So substitute those values to solve for "b":
-2 = (3/4)(-6) + b
Multiply thru by 4 to get:
-8 = -18 + 4b
4b = 10
b = 5/2

=================
Equation:
y = (3/4)x + (5/2)
