(4,9),m=5/8?
Question:find the equation of a line containing the given point and having the given slope
Answers:
(x,y) = (4,9). when x = 4, y = 9
y = mx + b
y = (5/8)x + b
substitute x = 4 and y = 9 to find b...
9 = (5/8)(4) + b
9 = 5/2 + b
b = 13/2
ANSWER... y = (5/8)x + 13/2
y=(5/8)x + (13/2)
u dont really need parenthesis when u write it
