find the slope intercept form and the point slope

Question

the lines whose slope is -3/4 going through the point (1,-5)

Answer 1

Hello Jaeda.

Point slope form: we can use the formula; y - -5 = -3/4(x - 1)

slope intercept form; isolate y from the formula above; y - -5 = -3x/4 +3/4

y - -5 = -3x/4 +3/4

y +5 = -3x/4 +3/4

y = -3x/4 -17/4

hope that helps
