QuestionGraph the line through the point (4,3)(-4,-3) with slope m=4m=4.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have a point (-4,-3) through which the line passes. . The slope of the line, m, is4.
3. We are working in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.

STEP 2

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given byy=mx+by = mx + bwhere m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

STEP 3

We know the slope m is, so we can substitute this into the equationy=x+by =x + b

STEP 4

We also know that the line passes through the point (-4,-3). We can substitute these values into the equation to solve for b3=4(4)+b-3 =4(-4) + b

STEP 5

olve for b3=16+b-3 = -16 + bb=3+16b = -3 +16b=13b =13

STEP 6

Now that we have the y-intercept, we can write the equation of the liney=4x+13y =4x +13

STEP 7

To graph the line, we can start by plotting the y-intercept (0,13) on the y-axis.

STEP 8

Since the slope is4, we can go up4 units and to the right1 unit from the y-intercept to find another point on the line.

STEP 9

Repeat this process to find more points and draw the line through these points.
The line passing through the point (-4,-3) and having the slope4 is represented by the equation y=4x+13y =4x +13 and its graph is a straight line passing through the points (-4,-3) and (,13) among others.
