A line passes through the point (-8,5) and has a slope of 3/2 Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

First, write the equation in point-slope form.

y-5=3/2(x+8)

Next, move the terms around to make it into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b.

y-5=3/2x+12
y=3/2x+17

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=3/2x+17

Hope this helps!
