Write the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line passing through the origin and the point (-4,3) .
Using the information that the line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-4, 3) , we can find the slope.
slope = riserun = y2−y1x2−x1 = 3−0−4−0 = −34
Using the point (0, 0) and the slope -34 , the equation of the line in point-slope form is
y - 0 = -34(x - 0)
Simplify both sides of the equation to get
y = -34x
