Q. A line passes through point (6,7) (6,7) and has a slope of 32 \frac{3}{2} . Write an equation in Ax+By=C A x+B y=C form for this line. Use integers for A,B A, B , and C C .
  1. Identify Equation Form: Identify the slope-intercept form of the equation using the given slope and point.\newlineUsing y=mx+by = mx + b, where m=32m = \frac{3}{2} and the point is (6,7)(6,7).\newlineSubstitute into y=mx+by = mx + b:\newline7=(32)(6)+b7 = \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)(6) + b\newline7=9+b7 = 9 + b\newlineb=79b = 7 - 9\newlineb=2b = -2
  2. Convert to Standard Form: Convert the slope-intercept form to Ax+By=CAx+By=C form.\newlineStarting from y=32x2y = \frac{3}{2}x - 2, rearrange to get rid of the fraction:\newline2y=3x42y = 3x - 4\newlineNow, rearrange to Ax+By=CAx + By = C form:\newline3x+2y=4-3x + 2y = -4
  3. Adjust Coefficients: Adjust the equation to ensure all coefficients are integers. Multiply the entire equation by 1-1 to make the constants positive: 3x2y=43x - 2y = 4
