A line has a slope of -3/4 and passes through the point (-5, 4). what is the equation of the line?

y = -3/4x-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3/4x +b

We have a point (-5,4)

4 = -3/4 (-5) +b

Changing to a common denominator

16/4 = 15/4 +b

subtracting 15/4 from each side

16/4-15/4 = -15/4 +15/4 +b

1/4 = b

y = -3/4x-1/4
