3) Write the equations of the lines using the given information. Write the equations in slope intercept form.

a) with slope m = -4 and passing through (-3,2)

b) passing through (-1,3) and (-3,4)

Solution

slope intercept form of equation : y = mx +c

a) m = -4 ; find c using point (-3,2)

y = -4x +c ; Plug (-3, 2)

2 = -4*(-3) +c

2 - 12 = c

c= -10

y = -4x -10

b) (-1, 3) and (-3, 4)

slope = ( 4 -3)/( -3 - (-1))

= 1/-2 = -1/2

y = -x/2 +c

3 = 1/2 +c----> c= 3 -1/2 = 5/2

y = -x/2 +5/2
