Question

Graph each equation or inequality.

$8. y=\frac{3}{5}x-4$

Short answer

The graph for the equation is:

Step-by-step solution

– Determining slope and y-intercept

The slope intercept form is:

$\begin{array}{l}y=mx+b\\ y=\frac{3}{5}x-4\end{array}$

Slope: $\frac{3}{5}$

Y-intercept: $-4$

– Determining x-intercept

As, we have:

$y=\frac{3}{5}x-4$

We will put $y=0$:

$\begin{array}{c}0=\frac{3}{5}x-4\\ \frac{3}{5}x=4\\ x=\frac{20}{3}\end{array}$
