How do you write an equation of the line with an x-intercept of 4 and a slope of 3/4?

Answer 1

I found: #y=3/4x-3#

We can use the Slope-Intercept form of the equation of the line as: #y=mx+c# Where #m=#slope. In our case: #y=3/4x+c# to find #c# we set that the line has #x#-intercept at the point of coordinates #(4,0)# and substitute into our equation to get: #0=3/4*4+c# rearranging we get: #c=-3# so finally the equation will be: #color(red)(y=3/4x-3)#

The equation of the line is y = (3/4)x + 3.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
