Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,1) and has a slope
of 3/4?

Answer 1

Answer: y=3/4x-5

Explanation:

To find the equation that passes through the point, we need to find the y-intercept.

y=3/4x+b [plug in (8,1)]

1=3/4(8)+b [multiply]

1=6+b [subtract both sides by 6]

b=-5

Now, we know that the equation is y=3/4x-5.
