Question

Write the slope-intercept form equation of the line with slope 4/5 that passes through the point (0,−3).

(0,−3).

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

For slope-intercept form you want to put y = mx + b, where “m” is the slope and “b” is the y-intercept. In this question you’re given m = 4/5 and b = -3, meaning that the full equation here is

y = 4/5x – 3

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Hi Mike,

 

m=4/5

 

(x₁,y₁)=(0,-3)

 

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

 

y-(-3)=4/5(x-0)

 

y+3=(4/5)x

 

y=(4/5)x-3

 

The slope intercept form is given by y=mx+b which is y=(4/5)x-3
