how to solve slope 3/4, y-intercept (0,-9)

Question

write an equation of the line with the given slope and given y-intercept. Express the answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Jimena,

 

The standard form for the solution of a line knowing the value of the slope and the y-intercept is:

 

y = m·x + b

 

where m = value of the slope and b = value of the y-intercept

 

for your problem your have m = 3/4 and b = -9

 

Plug in those 2 values and you're all set!
