write the equation in standard form with integer coefficients for the line with slope (11/2) going through the points (-4,-4)
Fill it in?
__x-__y=__????
PLEASE HELP.
You have a point and a slope; use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = 1 1/2 = 3/2 x1 = -4 y1 = -4
y - y1 = m(x - x1) ---> y - -4 = (3/2)(x - -4)
y + 4 = (3/2)(x + 4)
multiply both sides by 2: 2(y + 4) = 3(x + 4)
simplify: 2y + 8 = 3x + 12
subtract 8 from both sides: 2y = 3x + 4
subtract 3x from both sides: -3x + 2y = 4
multiply by -1: 3x - 2y = -4
