A line passes through the point (-9.8) and has a slope of -4/3 write an equation in point slope form =

Answer 1

y=(-4/3)x + b

plug in the point, y=8, x=-9

8 = (-4/3)(-9) + b

b = 8 -12 = -4

b =-4

y=(-4/3)x -4 in slope intercept form

that's 3y = -4x -12

or

4x + 3y = -12

in another standard form

y+4 = -(4/3)(x-0) has the point slope standard equation with -4/3 = slope and going through the point (0,-4)

or

going through the given point (-9,8)

y-8 = -(4/3)(x + 9)
