Which equation in standard form has a graph that passes through the point (-4,2) and has a slope of 9/2?

1 Answer

Apr 29, 2018

#2y-9x-40=0#

Explanation:

Using the point gradient form

#(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)#
Where m=gradient and #(x_1,y_1)# is a point on the slope

#(y-2)=9/2(x+4)#

#2y-4=9x+36#
#2y-9x-40=0#
