Q. Graph a line that has a slope of −43 and includes the point (−3,2)
Find Slope-Intercept Form: Find the slope-intercept form of the equation using the slope and the given point.y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point.y−2=(−43)(x−(−3))
Simplify Equation by Distributing: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope. y−2=(−43)(x+3)
Multiply Slope with Terms: Multiply the slope with each term inside the parentheses.y−2=(−43)x−(43)(3)
Multiply −43 by 3: Multiply −43 by 3 to get −49.y−2=(−43)x−49
Add 2 to Both Sides: Add 2 to both sides to get y by itself.y=(−43)x−49+2
Convert 2 to Fraction: Convert 2 to a fraction with the same denominator as −49 to combine the terms.y=(−43)x−49+48
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms.y=(−43)x−41
