Math Problem Statement

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form with a slope of 7/4 and a y-intercept of -3.

Solution

The question in the image asks to "Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form with a slope of 74\frac{7}{4} and a y-intercept of 3-3."

Solution:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by: y=mx+by = mx + b where:

  • mm is the slope of the line.
  • bb is the y-intercept.

Here:

  • m=74m = \frac{7}{4}
  • b=3b = -3

Substitute these values into the equation: y=74x3y = \frac{7}{4}x - 3

Final Answer:

y=74x3y = \frac{7}{4}x - 3
