Question

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that goes through the point (2, -1) with m=3/8?

A) y=3/8x+1/4
B) y=3/8x+7/4
C) y=3/8x-1/4
D) y=3/8x-7/4

And how did you answer it?

Answer 1

All have slope 3/8, so one needs to check the point:

x=2, 3/8*2 = 3/4, with -7/4, gives -4/4=-1

So, D) the last one (almost always it's the last one :)
