Graph the line that has a slope of -4/3 and passes through the point (-2,1)

Answer 1

the equation is

4x+3y = -5

y-intercept = -5/3 or (0,-5/3)

x- intercept = -5/4 or (-5/4,0)

plot those two points and connect them with a straight line

It's downward sloping line, that is a little to the left of the origin

use the point slope formula

y-h = m(x-k) where m= slope and (k,h) is a point on the line

y-1 = (-4/3)(x+2)

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