Question 337665
The line through (-1,-2) with slope 3/7. Write the equation for this line. Give the answer in slope-intercept form.
------------
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
---
You know y = -2 when x = -1.
And you know m = 3/7
---
Substitute and solve for "b":
-2 = (3/7)(-1) + b
b = -2+(3/7)
b = (-14/7)+(2/7)
b = -12/7
=============================
Equation:
y = (3/7)x -(12/7)
