Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form (0,-4) , m=6/5

$(0, - 4)$ , $m = \frac{6}{5}$

Step 1

Find the value of $b$ using the formula for the equation of a line.

Use the formula for the equation of a line to find $b$ .

$y = m x + b$

Substitute the value of $m$ into the equation.

$y = (\frac{6}{5}) x + b$

Substitute the value of $x$ into the equation.

$y = (\frac{6}{5}) \cdot (0) + b$

Substitute the value of $y$ into the equation.

$- 4 = (\frac{6}{5}) \cdot (0) + b$

Find the value of $b$ .

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{6}{5} \cdot 0 + b = - 4$ .

$\frac{6}{5} \cdot 0 + b = - 4$

Simplify $\frac{6}{5} \cdot 0 + b$ .

Multiply $\frac{6}{5}$ by $0$ .

$0 + b = - 4$

Add $0$ and $b$ .

$b = - 4$

Step 2

Now that the values of $m$ (slope) and $b$ (y-intercept) are known, substitute them into $y = m x + b$ to find the equation of the line.

$y = \frac{6}{5} x - 4$
