A line passes through point (-8,-2) and has a slope of -3/2. Write an equation in Ax+By=C form for this line. Use integers for A, B, and C.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A= 3/2, B = 1, C = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form we can plug in your point and slope.
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-2)=-3/2(x-(-8))[/tex]

[tex]y+2=-3/2(x+8)[/tex]

Distribute -3/2

[tex]y+2=-3/2x-3/2*8[/tex]

[tex]y+2=-3/2x-12[/tex]

Get y by itself by subtracting 2 to both side.

[tex]y=-3/2x-14[/tex]

[tex]3/2x+y=-14[/tex]

A = 3/2 , B = 1 , C= -14
